  • Publication number: 20240378850
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, a computing device is configured to modify an original video by applying a machine learning model. The computing device obtains multiple training data sets, with each particular training data set including an original video and a corresponding modified video. One or more frames from the original video are cropped to generate corresponding frames in the corresponding modified video. The computing device trains a machine learning model, using the training data sets, to generate modified videos from original videos such that one or more frames in the original videos are modified to generate corresponding frames in respective modified videos. Once the machine learning model is trained, the computing device obtains a target original video and applies the trained machine learning model to the target original video to generate a target modified video.

  • Patent number: 8854370
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a program that provides a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI includes a display area for displaying an image that includes several pixels. Each pixel includes a set of color component values. The GUI includes a waveform monitor for displaying a graph that includes several graphical representations of the several pixels in the image. Each graphical representation is (1) plotted along a first axis of the graph based on a position of a corresponding pixel in the image and (2) plotted along a second axis of the graph based on the set of color component values of the corresponding pixel in the image. A color of each graphical representation is similar to a color of the corresponding pixel that is used for displaying the pixel in the display area.

  • Patent number: 8823726
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a program that performs a color balance operation. The program identifies an image that includes several pixels. Each pixel includes a luma component value and chroma component values. The program analyzes the luma component values of the pixels in the image to identify several luma ranges. The program determines, for each luma range in the several luma ranges, a set of transforms for modifying chroma component values of pixels in the image in order to remove a color cast from the image. The program applies the sets of transforms to the image to remove the color casts from the image.

  • Publication number: 20120210229
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method of providing tools for a media-editing application. The method provides a first tool that, upon invocation for a first image, initiates an automated process that adjusts colors of pixel values of the first image based on analysis of the pixel values. The method provides a second tool that, upon selection of the first image and a second image, adjusts colors of the first image to match the colors of the second image.
