Abstract
An image capture device may capture visual content during a visual capture duration and audio content during an audio capture duration. The audio capture duration may be shorter than the visual capture duration. The captured audio content may provide audio for playback of the captured visual content.
Claims14
An image capture device comprising:
- a housing;
- an image sensor carried by the housing and configured to generate a visual output signal conveying visual information based on light that becomes incident thereon, the visual information defining visual content;
- an optical element carried by the housing and configured to guide light within a field of view to the image sensor;
- a sound sensor carried by the housing and configured to generate a sound output signal conveying audio information based on sound received by the sound sensor, the audio information defining audio content;
- and
- one or more physical processors carried by the housing, the one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
- capture the visual content during a visual capture duration, the visual capture duration extending from a visual capture start point to a visual capture end point;
- capture the audio content during a first audio capture duration based on activation of an audio content capture option of the image capture device, the activation of the audio content capture option separately prompting the image capture device to capture the audio content from capture of the visual content, the first audio capture duration extending from a first audio capture start point to a first audio capture end point, the first audio capture duration being shorter than the visual capture duration;
- and
- generate video content of a time-lapse video, the video content of the time-lapse video including the captured visual content and the captured audio content, wherein the captured visual content is defined within video frames of the video content and the captured audio content provides audio for playback of at least some of the video frames such that the captured audio content provides playback for the video frames captured over a duration longer than the first audio capture duration;
- wherein the audio content is captured further during a second audio capture duration, the second audio capture duration extending from a second audio capture start point to a second audio capture end point, the captured audio content includes a first captured audio content portion captured during the first audio capture duration and a second captured audio content portion captured during the second audio capture duration, and the first captured audio content portion is mixed with the second captured audio content portion to provide the audio for playback of at least some of the video frames, wherein mixing of the first captured audio content portion and the second captured audio content portion is performed based on both the first capture audio content portion and the second captured audio content portion having been captured from a same type of location.
