Patent number: 9564173Abstract: Some embodiments provide a program that creates a composite media presentation from several media clips. The program creates an audition set for a particular location in a composite display area for placing media clips to specify a description of the composite media presentation. The program adds to the audition set several different types of media clips that are candidates for placement in the composite display area at the particular location. The program iteratively selects a different media clip in the audition set as the only committed media clip in the audition set to include in the composite media presentation.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2010Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Anne Swenson, Giovanni Agnoli, Enrique Rodriguez, Charles Lyons, Brian Meaney, Dave Cerf, Mike Stern

Patent number: 8875025Abstract: A media-editing application of some embodiments allows a user of the application to group media clips displayed in the timeline into a single clip representation. A composite display area of the media-editing application often displays numerous clips at various instances in time and at various levels in the compositing hierarchy. To reduce the number of media clips in the timeline, the media-editing application of some embodiments allows the user to select several media clips and combine them into a one media clip representation. In this manner, the media-editing application reduces the congestion in the timeline. These single clip representations are referred to as “compound clips.” Compound clips can be viewed as containers that can include several media clips of the same type in some embodiments, or that can include several media clips of several different types in other embodiments.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2011Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Randy Ubillos, Ken Matsuda, Giovanni Agnoli, Colleen Pendergast, Dave Cerf, Itrat U. Khan, Michael Fleischhauer, Anne Swenson, Mike Stern

Publication number: 20140059436Abstract: Some embodiments provide a media editing application. The application places several committed media clips in a composite display area to specify a description of a composite presentation. In response to receiving a request to create a new version for a first media clip placed at a particular location in the composite display area, the application creates an audition set at the particular location in the composite display area. The application creates a second media clip from the first media clip. The application adds the first and second media clips to the audition set. At least one of the first and second media clips is a candidate media clip that is insertable at the location in the composite display area but is not a media clip that has been committed for inclusion in the description of the composite presentation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2013Publication date: February 27, 2014Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Anne Swenson, Giovanni Agnoli, Enrique Rodriguez, Charles Lyons, Brian Meaney, Dave Cerf, Michael P.

Patent number: 8555169Abstract: A computer readable medium (CRM) storing a media editing application for creating media presentations is described. The application includes a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI has (1) a display area for displaying a composite presentation that the application creates by compositing a plurality of media clips, (2) a composite display area for displaying graphical representations of a set of media clips that are part of the composite presentation, (3) an audition display area for displaying graphical representations of a set of media clips that are candidates for adding to the composite presentation at a particular location, and (4) an audition tool for creating an audition set for a particular location in the composite display area, where the audition set is a user modifiable set of clips, each of which is for individual placement at the particular location for inclusion in the composite presentation.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2009Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Colleen Pendergast, Michaelle Stikich, Dave Cerf, Tom Langmacher, Anne Swenson, Gregory Niles, Jerremy Holland, Brian Meaney, Egan Schulz, Charles Lyons
