Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for framing videos are described. In some implementations, an image capture device may obtain video information defining a video captured over a duration in a capture reference frame, wherein the device may rotate in three rotational degrees of freedom relative to a global reference frame. Stabilized framing information may be obtained to define a viewing window that may compensate for relative rotation between the capture reference frame and the global reference frame in at least two rotational degrees of freedom. Modified framing information may be generated using a noise injection process to attenuate the compensation provided by the stabilized framing information. The visual content within the modified viewing window may be determined and presented as a function of progress through the video's length, resulting in a viewing experience that may balance stability against jitter while preserving naturalistic motion and operator intent.

Abstract: A video may be framed using information on direction-locking of the video. The video may be rotated based on changes in the orientation of the image capture device during video capture to simulate a video captured with the image capture device pointed in the same direction (e.g., north direction). Panning may be used to frame the video in the direction of the motion of the image capture device. The direction and amount of panning may be determined by inverting the pan rotation that was performed on the video to direction-lock the video.

Abstract: A video may be framed using information on the direction of gravity and the direction of north with respect to an image capture device during video capture, information on changes in the orientation of the image capture device during video capture, and information on the direction of motion of the image capture device during video capture. The changes in the orientation of the image capture device may be in an image capture device reference frame, and the direction of motion of the image capture device may be in the earth reference frame. The changes in the orientation of the image capture device and the direction of motion of the image capture device may be merged into a single reference frame using the direction of gravity and the direction of north with respect to the image capture device, and the video may be framed in the single reference frame to include the extents of the video in the direction of the motion of the image capture device during video capture.

Abstract: Motion of an image capture device during capture of a video, such as a spherical video, is utilized to frame visual content of the video. The motion of the image capture device during video capture is used to determine how the visual content will be framed (e.g., for presentation, for inclusion in a video clip/video edit). The motion of the image capture device during video capture is determined using the visual content projected onto a plane using stereographic projection.

Abstract: Music tracks may be selected to create an accompaniment for a video that matches the characteristics of the video. Video characteristics may be used to generate personalized soundtracks to provide more impactful/engaging video edits. Video characteristics may be used to create the arrangement of the music to provide accompaniment for the video. Music tracks may be associated with different music elements (e.g., intro, outro, verse, chorus, bridge, drop, break, hook, refrain), and different parts of the video may be assigned to particular music elements based on the characteristics of the video. Music track(s) corresponding to the assigned music elements may be selected for different parts of the video. The music tracks may be automatically selected to generate an accompaniment that matches the video. Effects may be added to the video and/or the selected music tracks to highlight moments (e.g., interesting moments, high action moments) in the video.

Abstract: A method for controlling the operation of a generator connected to an electrical energy storage unit in a vehicle power train. An engine is connected to a drive shaft of the vehicle through a transmission and with an interrupting device with which the transmission of torque from the engine to the drive shaft is interruptible. When the transmission of torque between the engine and the drive shaft is interrupted the generator is driven from the drive shaft.

Abstract: A motor vehicle transmission having a continuously variable transmission ratio. The transmission includes an input-side torque converter that is optionally connectable on the output side through a first transmission stage with a predetermined gear ratio, or through a second, continuously variable transmission stage, to the output shaft of the transmission so that it transmits torque. The transmission ratio of the continuously variable transmission stage is adjustable in such a way that the rotational speed of the transmission output shaft remains constant when the transmission of torque is shifted from the first transmission stage to the second transmission stage.

Two control clutches connect the variable speed drive unit and the gear system so that when going through the entire transmission ratio range of the power-branched transmission the adjustment range of the variable speed drive unit is passed through a plurality of times. The transmission also includes rotational speed sensors and a controller that determines whether a change in rotational speed is triggered by a change in the transmission ratio, and when it is not triggered by a change in the transmission ratio, the controller adjusts the variable speed drive unit so that the change in rotational speed not triggered by a change in the transmission ratio is compensated.
