Abstract: In one embodiment, a digital video device may allow for real time editing of a digital video clip during viewing. A digital video viewer 200 in a standard viewing mode may display a digital video clip to a user. The digital video viewer 200 may overlaying a scrub bar 204 over the digital video clip to receive a user input. The digital video viewer 200 may move between a predecessor video frame and a successor video frame of the digital video clip by moving a play head 206 in the scrub bar 204. The digital video viewer 200 may tether a clip editor control 208 to the play head 206 to edit the digital video clip.

Abstract: A method to expose status information is provided. The status information is associated with metadata extracted from multimedia files and stored in a metadata database. The metadata information that is extracted from the multimedia files is stored in a read queue to allow a background thread to process the metadata and populate the metadata database. Additionally, the metadata database may be updated to include user-define metadata, which is written back to the multimedia files. The user-defined metadata is included in a write queue and is written to the multimedia files associated with the user-defined metadata. The status of the read and write queues are exposed to a user through a graphical user interface. The status may include the list of multimedia files included in the read and write queues, the priorities of each multimedia file, and the number of remaining multimedia files.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a digital video device may allow for real time editing of a digital video data clip during viewing. A digital video viewer 200 may display a digital video clip to a user in a standard viewing mode. The digital video viewer 200 may receive a frame selection from a user. The digital video viewer 200 may automatically add an emphasis effect to the frame selection.

Abstract: Systems and methods for digital negatives are described. In one aspect, a digital negative is created on a computing device from a digital image. The digital image is linked to the digital negative. In response to a save operation associated with the digital image, a new digital image is generated and bi-directionally connected to the digital negative. In response to a revert operation associated with the new digital image, contents of the new digital image are replaced with contents of the digital negative.
