Patent number: 11490048Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed towards reframing videos from one aspect ratio to another aspect ratio while maintaining visibility of regions of interest. A set of regions of interest are determined in frames in a video with a first aspect ratio. The set of regions of interest can be used to estimate an initial camera path. An optimal camera path is determined by leveraging the identified regions of interest using the initial camera path. Sub crops with a second aspect ratio different from the first aspect ratio of the video are identified. The sub crops are placed as designated using the optimal camera path to generate a cropped video with the second aspect ratio.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2021Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: ADOBE INC.Inventors: Nicolas Huynh Thien, William Marino, Oliver Wang, Nico Alexander Becherer, Allison Breanne Walke

Patent number: 11244204Abstract: In implementations of determining video cuts in video clips, a video cut detection system can receive a video clip that includes a sequence of digital video frames that depict one or more scenes. The video cut detection system can determine scene characteristics for the digital video frames. The video cut detection system can determine, from the scene characteristics, a probability of a video cut between two adjacent digital video frames having a boundary between the two adjacent digital video frames that is centered in the sequence of digital video frames. The video cut detection system can then compare the probability of the video cut to a cut threshold to determine whether the video cut exists between the two adjacent digital video frames.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2020Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Oliver Wang, Nico Alexander Becherer, Markus Woodson, Federico Perazzi, Nikhil Kalra

Patent number: 10199070Abstract: A digital medium environment includes an audio processing application that generates a user interface for editing audio data. Sound effects are displayed each with a single adjuster according to an ordered workflow based on a mix type of an audio clip, such as music, dialogue, etc. Adjustment of a single adjuster for a sound effect causes adjustment of multiple parameters of an effects processor underlying the sound effect. Furthermore, effects processors corresponding to selected sound effects are placed in an effects rack in a correct order, rather than in an order in which the sound effects are selected, thus correcting user mistakes. The techniques described herein allow users of varied skill levels to work on a same project, and provide a dynamic interface suitable to the user's skill level that also facilitates comparative testing with an audio effect disabled and subsequently enabled without dropouts in the rendered audio.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2017Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Nico Alexander Becherer, Hartmut Warncke, Falk Ferdinand Albrecht Oswald, Durin Gleaves

Patent number: 9502017Abstract: A digital medium environment includes an audio editing application that remixes an original audio recording to play back over a target duration. An improved audio remixing method implemented by the audio editing application comprises segmenting the original audio recording into individual beats, computing costs for transitioning between different beats of the original audio recording, and creating a remixed audio recording using the transition costs and beats of the original audio recording. As the remixed audio recording is created, transition costs are updated by assigning penalties to transitions as the transitions are inserted into the remix. Using the beats of the original audio recording with updated transition costs ensures that a remix retains a quality and structure of the original audio recording while avoiding repetition.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2016Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventor: Nico Alexander Becherer
