Abstract: The present technology can provide a mechanism for adjusting a visual effect that is associated with an audio artifact at a given frequency bandwidth that is attenuated by speaker characteristics. The intensity of the visual effects that is adjusted can also be attributed to a change in volume settings of a processing device as well as an intensity of a multimedia skin in which the visual effect is encoded. The multimedia skin includes filters, transitions/animations, and/or image universal processing, that can be applied to any set of photos, videos, and/or songs, in order to create, in real-time, many variations of the same digital multimedia file, wherein each multimedia skin leads to a specific video rendering.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a process for detecting musical artifacts within a musical composition. The detection of musical artifacts is based on analyzing the energy and frequency of the digital signal of the musical composition. The identification of musical artifacts within a musical composition would be used in connection with audio-video editing.

Abstract: The present technology can provide a mechanism for generating an offset based on protocols that are used for delivering a digital multimedia content to correct a latency between an audio and visual experience of a digital multimedia content. A wireless audio transport latency may be determined based on whether there is a wireless audio transport playback protocol for the digital multimedia file. An encoding image latency may be determined based on whether the digital multimedia file is encoded. A total audio latency offset may be calculated based on a retinal image latency in addition to the encoding image latency minus the wireless audio transport latency. The retinal image latency is based on the persistence of vision.

Abstract: The disclosed technology provides solutions for enhancing a user's experience of music video playback. Beat temporal locations are identified in the soundtrack of a multimedia content item, and surround the beat temporal locations, the playback speed of video frames is adjusted. An audio event trigger is determined using a beat decomposition process that generates event vectors including time-index information, wherein the event vectors indicate temporal locations of the audio event trigger. Playback speed can be changed by advancing the timing of displayed frames before the occurrence of a rhythm event, and by delaying it after. Shader parameter courses can be changed by being accelerated before the occurrence of a rhythm event and by being decelerated after.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating media content include processing an audio file to determine one or more parameters of the audio file. Based on a skin associated with the audio file, one or more media effects are determined corresponding to the one or more parameters of the audio file. The one or more media effects are applied to a media file to generate a modified media file, wherein the media file excludes the audio file. An audio-video file is generated to include a combination of the audio file and the modified media file.

Abstract: A method and arrangement is provided for producing an adhesive-bound printed item composed of a plurality of printed products. The printed products are gathered into loose book blocks along a first conveying section of a conveying track for a circulating conveyor while positioned transverse to a conveying direction and inclined counter to the conveying direction. The book blocks are then accelerated in an additional section of the circulating conveyor to obtain a larger divisional spacing between the printed products. The book blocks are transferred from the additional section of the circulating conveyor to clamps of a transporter and pivoted to an upright position where one side edge is approximately parallel to the conveying direction. The book blocks are transferred from the clamps of the transporter into respective circulating conveying clamps of an adhesive binder.
