Abstract: A method of operating a washing machine appliance includes calculating a plaster speed of a load of articles in a basket, rotating the basket, and accelerating the basket to a first speed less than the calculated plaster speed and greater than zero during an initial ramp period. The method also includes accelerating the basket from the first speed to a second speed greater than the first speed. The second speed is within a predetermined margin of the calculated plaster speed. The method further includes monitoring a balance condition and accelerating the basket to full plaster speed when the monitored balance condition is within a predetermined tolerance range.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that enable and assist a user to generate customized video content and alter the video content without altering the customizations. For example, a social networking system may receive, from a user account associated with the social networking system, an input to create video content and add visual customizations to the video content. In some examples, the social networking system may also receive input from the user to alter the video content by altering the length of the video clip and/or adding a second video clip. The social networking system then alters the video content while maintain the previous customizations. The social networking system may then save the altered video content as a draft or share the altered video content to other users on the social networking system.
