Patent number: 9465526Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method performed by a digital slate. The method receives input of a first set of metadata for a particular video clip from a user. The method receives a second set of metadata for the particular video clip from a camera as the camera films the particular video clip. The method embeds the first and second sets of metadata in a data storage structure. The method transmits the data structure for later use in matching the first and second sets of metadata with the particular video clip. Some embodiments display at least a portion of the stored metadata about the particular video clip in front of a camera at the start of the particular video clip.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2014Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Jeff Roenning, Patrick Vasta, Douglas DeVore

Patent number: 9317172Abstract: A computer readable medium storing a media editing application for creating media presentations is described. The application includes a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI has (1) a composite display area for displaying graphical representations of a set of media clips that are part of the composite presentation and (2) a navigation tool including several selectable navigation markers associated with several navigable locations in the composite presentation. The selection of a navigation marker causes the composite display area to present the navigable location in the composite presentation that is associated with the selected navigation marker.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2013Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Charles Lyons, Wendy Van Wazer, Lisa Diener, Douglas DeVore, Peter Warner

Patent number: 9032299Abstract: For a media-editing application that creates composite presentations, a novel grouping tool for grouping several media clips in the composite presentation by drawing a boundary about the media clips is described. The media editing application includes a composite display area for displaying media clips that are part of the composite presentation. The composite display area includes a timeline and one or more tracks that span the timeline for holding one or more media clips. The grouping tool provides a drawing tool that allows a user to draw a boundary in the composite display area. The drawing tool includes a moveable drawing element that moves about the media clips in the composite display area in order to draw the boundary.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2010Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Charles Lyons, Wendy Van Wazer, Douglas DeVore, Peter Warner

Patent number: 8418082Abstract: A method of defining a media editing application for creating media presentations. The method provides a composite display area for displaying a set of clip shapes that represent media clips. It also provides a consolidated editing tool for (1) identifying clip-shape edit points that are near a cursor's location as the cursor moves from track to track in the composite display area and (2) collectively selecting the identified clip-shape edit points along multiple track in order to receive an edit operation to collectively perform on said the clip-shapes of the identified edit points.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2009Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Brian Meaney, Colleen Pendergast, Charles Lyons, Douglas DeVore

Patent number: 8205154Abstract: Techniques (methods and devices) that permit a user to define multimedia transitions in terms of user-supplied assets are described. The user supplies the assets necessary to generate the transition such as, for example, an asset movie, an asset matte movie and a background matte movie. (The specific assets required may vary depending upon the transition to be generated.) These assets are then automatically combined (e.g., through compositing) to render a completed multimedia object in which the defined transition is used to visually transition a first image or frame to a second image or frame. The same techniques used in some generic transformation of images or movies are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2004Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Frank Doepke, Douglas DeVore

Publication number: 20100281371Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method that provides a first display area for displaying a video presentation. The video presentation includes several video clips, each of which includes a particular sequence of consecutive video pictures. The method provides a navigation tool for navigating the video presentation. The navigation tool includes a display of a representative video picture from each video clip in the video presentation. The entire navigation tool is for display at one time in a second display area. In some embodiments the representative video picture for a particular video clip is the first video picture, a particular number of video pictures from the start of the video clip, etc. Some embodiments also provide a third display area for displaying thumbnail images representing a subset of the video clips in the video presentation.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2009Publication date: November 4, 2010Inventors: Peter Warner, Douglas DeVore, Wendy Van Wazer, Lisa Diener, Charles Lyons
