Abstract
A system and method for displaying information about video/audio clips that are being edited. When two different clips are being matched, or when one clip is being used to replace another clip, the first clip is shown on a first timeline in a normal form. The other clip is arranged in a separate timeline to overlap with the first clip. The user is provided with the ability to easily move both clips with an input device. For individual frames that overlap, one frame is at least partially transparent so that user can see both frames at the same time.
Claims18
A method of showing multiple video streams;
- the method comprising:
- providing a first video stream including a first plurality of frames;
- providing a second video stream including a second plurality of frames;
- and
- displaying the first video stream and the second video stream such that at least one of the first plurality of frames and at least one of the second plurality of frames overlap at an overlapping image area,
- wherein the first video stream is displayed along a horizontal axis and the second video stream is displayed along a vertical axis
A method for editing multiple video streams;
- the method comprising:
- providing a first video stream including a first plurality of frames;
- providing a second video stream including a second plurality of frames;
- and
- displaying the first video stream and the second video stream such that at least one of the first plurality of frames and at least one of the second plurality of frames overlap at an overlapping image area, wherein the first video stream is displayed along a horizontal axis and the second video stream is displayed along a vertical axis;
- and
- editing the first video stream or the second video stream.
A method for editing multiple video streams;
- comprising the steps of
- providing a first video stream including a first plurality of frames;
- providing a second video stream including a second plurality of frames;
- displaying the first video stream and the second video stream such that at least one of the first plurality of frames and at least one of the second plurality of frames overlap at an overlapping image area;
- and
- selecting the overlapping image area for editing the first video stream and the second video stream,
- wherein the first video stream is displayed along a horizontal axis and the second video stream is displayed along a vertical axis.
A computer program product for editing multiple video streams, comprising:
- computer code for providing a first video stream including a first plurality of frames;
- computer code for providing a second video stream including a second plurality of frames;
- computer code for displaying the first video stream and the second video stream on a display such that at least one of the first plurality of frames and at least one of the second plurality of frames overlap at an overlapping image area;
- and
- computer code for selecting the overlapping image area for editing the first video stream and the second video stream,
- wherein the first video stream is displayed along a horizontal axis and the second video stream is displayed along a vertical axis.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display for displaying information;
- means for providing a first video stream including a first plurality of frames,
- means for providing a second video stream including a second plurality of frames,
- means for displaying the first video stream and the second video stream on the display such that at least one of the first plurality of frames and at least one of the second plurality of frames overlap at an overlapping image area, and
- means for selecting the overlapping image area for editing the first video stream and the second video stream,
- wherein the first video stream is displayed along a horizontal axis and the second video stream is displayed along a vertical axis.
A system for editing streams of video, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory unit operatively coupled to the processor and having a computer program product comprising:
- computer code for providing a first video stream including a first plurality of frames,
- computer code for providing a second video stream including a second plurality of frames,
- computer code for displaying the first video stream and the second video stream on a display such that at least one of the first plurality of frames and at least one of the second plurality of frames overlap at an overlapping image area, and
- computer code for selecting the overlapping image area for editing the first video stream and the second video stream,
- wherein the first video stream is displayed along a horizontal axis and the second video stream is displayed along a vertical axis.
