Patent number: 11747972Abstract: Some embodiments provide a media-editing application with novel editing tools. The media editing application provides an in-line precision editor that can be opened in the composite display area. In some embodiments, a selection of an edge between two clips expands a composite lane into two lanes, a first lane and a second lane. The first lane is then used to perform edits to the left side of the selected edge, while the second lane is used to perform edits to the right side of the selected edge. In some embodiments, the first lane shows the additional media content available for the clip on the left side of the edge to include. The second lane shows the additional media content available for the clip on the right side of the edge to include. The additional media content is in the source media file, of which a clip represents a portion.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Ken Matsuda, Matthew D. Diephouse, Dave Cerf, Vincenzo De Marco, Jordan P. McCommons, Louis LaSalle

Patent number: 9600164Abstract: A media application of some embodiments includes a timeline, which is a composite display area for displaying media clips that are part of the composite media presentation. The timeline of some embodiments includes a primary lane called a spine as well as one or more anchor lanes. The spine represents a primary sequence of media, which, in some embodiments, does not have any gaps. When a clip is deleted or removed from the timeline, the media-editing applications automatically closes the gap created in place of the clip. The clips in the anchor lanes are anchored to a particular position along the spine. Anchor lanes may be used for compositing (e.g., removing portions of one video and showing a different video in those portions), B-roll cuts (i.e., cutting away from the primary video to a different video whose clip is in the anchor lane), audio clips, or other composite presentation techniques.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Ken Matsuda, Dave Cerf, Itrat U. Khan, Matthew D. Diephouse, Brian Meaney, Vincenzo De Marco, Jordan P. McCommons, Louis LaSalle

Patent number: 9111579Abstract: Some embodiments provide a media-editing application. The application displays a trackless composite display area for creating a composite presentation from several different media clips. The composite presentation includes a multi-camera media clip that includes one of several different groups of ordered media clips. Upon receiving a selection to edit the multi-camera media clip in the composite presentation, the application displays each of the different groups of ordered media clips as separate tracks in the composite display area.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2012Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Brian Meaney, Colleen Pendergast, Ken Matsuda, Giovanni Agnoli, Itrat U.

Patent number: 8966367Abstract: Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine readable medium that stores a media-editing application which when executed by at least one processing unit provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for creating a composite media presentation from several media clips. The GUI includes a composite display area for placing media clips to specify the composite media presentation. The composite display area includes (1) a primary lane for placing a primary sequence of media clips and (2) several secondary lanes for placing media clips that are anchored to media clips in the primary lane. The GUI includes an editing tool that includes a first mode for performing an edit operation to a particular media clip and a set of media clips anchored to the particular media clip and a second mode for performing the edit operation to the particular media clip without performing the edit operation to the set of media clips anchored to the particular media clip.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2012Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Brian Meaney, Ken Matsuda, Louis LaSalle

Patent number: 8326035Abstract: A graphical user interface for performing color correction and methods for implementing the color correction are disclosed. The graphical user interface allows a user to adjust the colorspace of the pixels in the image. In one embodiment, a color adjustment pad allows the user to push the pixels from a particular luminance level a desired magnitude towards a desired hue. Pixels from other luminance levels are affected proportionally. The graphical user interface further allows a user to adjust the luminance of the pixels in the image. A luminance adjustment slider allows the user to adjust the luminance of pixels from a selected luminance level by a relative amount. Pixels from other luminance levels have their luminance are affected in a manner proportional to a difference between the selected luminance level value and the luminance value of the other pixel.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2011Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Randy Ubillos, Louis LaSalle
