Methods and apparatus for metadata-based processing of media content

A media capture apparatus, comprising:

• a first sensor configured to capture media data;
• a second sensor configured to record capture conditions of the first sensor;
• digital processor apparatus;
• and
• storage apparatus in data communication with the digital processor apparatus and having a non-transitory computer-readable media comprising one or more instructions which when executed by the digital processor apparatus, causes the media capture apparatus to:
• capture the media data at a rate;
• record the capture conditions of the first sensor at the rate;
• encode the media data within a media data structure;
• and
• encode the capture conditions within an instantaneous metadata data structure.

A post-processing apparatus, comprising:

• a network interface;
• a user interface;
• digital processor apparatus in data communication with the network interface;
• and
• storage apparatus in data communication with the digital processor apparatus and having a non-transitory computer-readable media comprising one or more instructions which when executed by the digital processor apparatus, causes the post-processing apparatus to:
• obtain media data and instantaneous metadata;
• select a presentation parameter for the user interface;
• and
• render the media data based on the presentation parameter and the instantaneous metadata.
