  • Method and system for a true scale motion path editor to create motion paths as independent entities
    Patent number: 6111590
    Abstract: Motion paths are created as independent entities in a multimedia motion path editor. A motion path is drawn in a path editor layout window without associating the path with an object in the layout area. The path is then saved for subsequent assignment to any desired object in the layout area. The saved path may be manipulated as any other object. A plurality of the saved paths may be joined together, and/or combined into one extrapolated path.

  • Method and system for a true-scale motion path editor using time segments, duration and synchronization
    Patent number: 6091427
    Abstract: Segments of a motion path are assigned a time factor and the motion path a total time factor. The time factor for each segment may be a percentage of the total time factor or a number of clock ticks. Once the total time factor is assigned, the remain segment time factors can be dynamically created therefrom. If the segment time factors are created before assigning a value to the total time factor, the total time factor will be a sum of the segment time factors.

  • Media manager for access to multiple media types
    Patent number: 6012068
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided which access media objects of a plurality of media types stored at a plurality of locations accessible to a computer system through a common interface. Such a common interface may accept user input requesting a media object. Responsive to the user input requesting a media object, the location of a requested media object is automatically determined based upon an object identifier for the media object. Similarly, the type of media object may be automatically determined based upon the object identifier. The determined location of the requested media object is then accessed to retrieve the media object the retrieved media object is formatted based upon the determined type of media object. User transparent access to animations and media libraries are also provided at both local and remote locations.
