  • Patent number: 11721365
    Abstract: A software product includes a computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, displays a graphical user interface for a video editing system, the graphical user interface including: a media bin displaying a plurality of media elements imported into the video editing system; a viewing window for viewing a selected one of the media elements; a timeline; a concatenator element; and a focus element; responsive to a user actuating the concatenator element, concatenates the media elements present in the media bin together into a single media element and loading the single media element into the viewing window; and responsive to a user actuating said focus element, modifies the single media element to form a focused single media element that concatenates only those media elements present in the media bin with related metadata and loading the focused single media element into the viewing window.

  • Patent number: 10855870
    Abstract: A digital video camera, including a heat management system, which includes at least one inlet and at least one outlet in the housing to enable air to flow through the housing. The heat management system also includes a first heat sink thermally connected to an image sensor(s), and a second heat sink thermally connected to a data processing unit(s), and a centrifugal fan. The centrifugal fan is configured to draw air into the front of the fan in an axial direction and push air radially out in a sideways direction, whereby air travels through the inlet(s) over the first heat sink and then over the second heat sink to the outlet(s).
