  • Patent number: 10255227
    Abstract: A social media video system provides for the authoring, archiving, and/or delivering of interactive social media videos. A social media video includes one or more media assets, which may be images, video clips, music clips, text verbiages, or the like. A social media video may be associated with a style profile that provides visual and/or aural effects that are pleasing, to a social media video viewer. The social media video system maintains social media videos in a template format, and may defer the rendering of a social media video until it is selected for viewing. The maintaining of social media videos in template format allows for efficient transmission and editing of social media videos. A social media video that is created and shared by one user may be modified and be shared again. In this way, users can collaborate to create, critique, and iterate social media videos.

  • Patent number: 10191624
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for creating social media videos based on media assets. A computing device displays a graphical user interface (“GUI”) for creating the social media video. The GUI includes a first region for selecting a media asset and a second region for displaying selected media assets. The device receives a user selection of the first media asset for use in a social media video. The device obtains a first metadata information associated with the first media asset, obtains a second media asset based at least in part on the first metadata information, and displays, in the first region, a thumbnail image of the second media asset. The second media asset is obtained based on first metadata information. In this way, related media assets are retrieved and display to optimize the creation of social media videos.
