  • Publication number: 20220206738
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for providing audio with captured video clips. The program and method provide for displaying, by a messaging application, a capture user interface for capturing video; providing a camera mode selection element which is selectable to switch between a first camera mode for capturing a single video clip and a second camera mode for capturing multiple video clips, to generate a media content item; providing an audio selection element which is selectable to select an audio track for the media content item; receiving, via the camera mode selection element, first user input selecting the second camera mode; receiving, via the audio selection element, second user input selecting the audio track; and providing for capturing multiple video clips in association with the selected audio track for generating the media content item.

  • Publication number: 20220182558
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for presenting subtitles. The systems and methods include accessing, by a user device, a video discovery graphical user interface that includes a plurality of videos; receiving a user input that gradually reduces volume of the user device; determining that the volume of the user device has gradually been reduced by the user input until a mute state has been reached in which audio output of the user device is disabled; and in response to determining that the volume of the user device has gradually been reduced until the mute state has been reached, automatically causing subtitles of a first video of the plurality of videos to be displayed during playback of the first video.

  • Publication number: 20220094653
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system and a method for performing operations comprising: receiving, by a messaging application implemented on a client device, input that selects a sound option to add sound to one or more images; in response to receiving the input, presenting a sound editing user interface element that visually indicates a played portion of the sound and separately visually indicates an un-played portion of the sound; receiving an interaction with the sound editing user interface element to modify a start point of the sound; embedding a graphical element representing the sound in the one or more images; playing, by the messaging application, the sound associated with the graphical element starting from the start point together with displaying the one or more images.

  • Publication number: 20220086367
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system and a method for performing operations comprising: displaying, by a messaging application, a sound capture screen that enables a user to record the sound; after the sound is recorded using the sound capture screen, generating, by the messaging application, a visual element associated with the sound; receiving, by the messaging application, selection of the visual element from a displayed list of visual elements representing different sounds; in response to receiving the selection of the visual element, conditionally adding one or more graphics representing the sound to one or more images at a user selected position based on a privacy status of the sound; and playing, by the messaging application, the sound associated with the visual element together with displaying the one or more images.

  • Patent number: 11226731
    Abstract: A panoramic system can receive content (e.g., live video) recorded in a landscape orientation and use a portrait dynamic crop window to display a portrait area of the received content. The panoramic system can further display the content in a landscape dynamic crop window that has a moveable user interface control that can pan the portrait crop window as the content plays in one or both of the dynamic crop windows.

  • Publication number: 20210373726
    Abstract: In one or more implementations, content generated using a client application may be associated with a classification. The content may be accessed based on one or more classifications associated with the content. Content may be generated by a client application executed by a client device of a content creator and sent to a server system that may distribute the content to one or more additional client devices of recipients of the content. The server system may also aggregate content having a same classification.

  • Publication number: 20210166456
    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented that provide for receiving, at a media overlay publication system from a first client device, content to generate a media overlay, and generating the media overlay using the content received from the client device. The generated media overlay is stored in a database associated with the media overlay publication system and associated with a first characteristic of the content received from the first client device. The media overlay is provided to a second client device when a second characteristic of context data associated with the second client device correlates to the first characteristic for the media overlay, causing a display of the media overlay on a user interface of the second client device.
