Abstract
A method and system for capturing, sharing, viewing, and/or displaying one or more video videos. A user of a computing device performs a gesture involving contacting a touch sensitive display. In response, a video segment is captured while the user maintains contact with the touch sensitive display. Upon releasing contact with the touch sensitive display, recording of the video segment is ceased. In one or more embodiments of the invention, the user may then record one or more additional video segments to be included in a video vignette.

A system, comprising:
- an application module configured to execute on a computer processor to trigger the computer processor to:
- receive at least a portion of a stream of content including a video vignette, the stream of content associated with a context account of a social media platform, the video vignette being associated with a set of thumbnail images;
- initiate playback of the video vignette within a scroll area of a display, the playback including triggering display of a first thumbnail image of the set of thumbnail images in a first position of the video vignette within the scroll area as a representation of the video vignette;
- scroll, in response to detecting a scroll input, the video vignette from the first position within the scroll area to a second position within the scroll area different from the first position within the scroll area;
- and
- trigger display, as the representation of the video vignette, a second thumbnail image of the set of thumbnail images according to the second position of the video vignette within the scroll area;
- and
- a user interface module configured to:
- detect the scroll input associated with the scroll area during the playback of the video vignette.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions for video playback, the plurality of instructions, when executed by a computer processor, comprising:
- receiving, at a client device, at least a portion of a stream of content including a video vignette, the stream of content associated with a context account of a social media platform;
- initiating playback of the video vignette within a scroll area of a display screen of the client device, the playback including triggering display of a first thumbnail image of a set of thumbnail images in the scroll area as a representation of the video vignette;
- detecting, at the client device, a scroll input associated with the scroll area during playback of the video vignette;
- scrolling, in response to detecting the scroll input, the video vignette through the scroll area;
- and
- triggering display, while scrolling the video vignette, as the representation of the video vignette, a second thumbnail image of the set of thumbnail images according to change in position of the video vignette within the scroll area from a first position within the scroll area to a second position in the scroll area different from the first position within the scroll area.
