  • Systems and methods for dynamic digital animation
    Patent number: 11295504
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive render instructions for rendering an animation. The animation comprises a plurality of layers, each layer comprising one or more layer properties, and a first dynamic property to be defined at runtime prior to rendering the animation. The first dynamic property is mapped to a first set of layer properties of the one or more layer properties. A first dynamic property value is received for the first dynamic property. The first set of layer properties are defined based on the first dynamic property value. The animation is rendered on a computing device based on the render instructions and the first dynamic property value.

  • Systems and methods for dynamically providing video content based on declarative instructions
    Patent number: 10734026
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can acquire a first selection to identify a subset of media content items out of a set of media content items. A second selection to identify a mood out of a set of moods can be acquired. A soundtrack can be identified based on at least one of first selection or the second selection. The soundtrack can be associated with data utilized to determine when each media content item in the subset is to be presented during a playback of the soundtrack. A set of declarative instructions utilized to determine how each media content item in the subset is to be presented during the playback of the soundtrack can be provided. The subset can be dynamically presented based on the set of declarative instructions. The subset can be presented during the playback of the soundtrack and can be presented to represent video content.

  • Systems and methods for selecting content items and generating multimedia content
    Patent number: 10652075
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can detect a trigger event for generating multimedia content. A set of content items associated with a user account can be identified. Information associated with at least one of the set of content items or the user account can be acquired. A subset of content items can be selected out of the set of content items based on the information. In some embodiments, each content item in the subset can satisfy specified selection criteria. The multimedia content can be generated based on the subset of content items.
