Applying effects to a video in-place in a document

A computer storage medium having computer executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

• create a document with a video embedded therein;
• receive a request to play the video in-place in the document with one or more effects applied to the video;
• and
• in response to the request, to cause a decoding sub-system to decode frames of the video to decoded frames, to cause a three-dimensional (3D) rendering sub-system to render the decoded frames with the effects applied thereto, and to display the rendered frames of the video in-place in the document.

A system for rendering a video in-place in a document with effects applied to the video, the system comprising:

• a decoding sub-system;
• a three-dimensional rendering sub-system;
• and
• a presentation application program configured to store a presentation document with the video embedded therein, to receive a request to play the video in-place in the document with the effects applied to the video, and in response to receiving the request, to configure a decoding sub-system to decode a frame of the video and to copy the decoded frame to a decoding surface on a first thread, to configure a 3D rendering sub-system to render the decoded frame with the effects applied thereto, to copy the decoded frame from the decoding surface to a texture on a second thread, to copy the texture to a rendering surface, and to instruct the 3D rendering sub-system to render the texture to a shape with the effects applied thereto, and to display the rendered frames of the video in-place in the document.
