US 2022/0038794 A1 · METHOD FOR GENERATING A COMPOSITION OF AUDIBLE AND VISUAL MEDIA

Abstract

One variation of a method for distributing a composition of audio and visual media includes: at a first computing device, generating a first meta file for a first composition, including pointers to an audio track and pointers to, positions and durations of video masks for, and an order for a set of videos; storing the first meta file and a portion of a private video, in the set of videos, in a remote database; serving the audio track and the set of videos to a second computing device for playback at the second computing device according to the first meta file; in response to modification of the first composition at the second computing device, generating a second meta file for a second composition defining a modified arrangement of the first composition; and storing the second meta file for local playback of the second composition at a third computing device.

A method for distributing a composition of audio and visual media comprising:

at a first computing device executing a native composition application:
receiving a selection of a first set of videos comprising a first video stored locally on the first computing device;
for each video in the first set of videos, defining a video mask for the video in the first set of videos comprising a start point of the video in the first set of videos and a duration of the video in the first set of videos based on the selection of the first set of videos;
and
generating a first meta file representing a first composition and comprising a pointer to each video in the first set of videos, a first set of video masks corresponding to the first set of videos, and a first order of the first set of videos;
at a second computing device executing the native composition application:
receiving a selection of a second set of videos comprising a second video stored locally on the second computing device;
for each video in the second set of videos, defining a video mask for the video in the second set of videos comprising a start point of the video in the second set of videos and a duration of the video in the second set of videos based on the selection of the second set of videos;
and
generating a second meta file representing a second composition and comprising a pointer to each video in the second set of videos, a second set of video masks corresponding to the second set of videos, and a second order of the second set of videos;
at a remote computer system:
receiving, from the first computing device:
a first portion of the first video;
and
the first meta file;
receiving, from the second computing device:
a first portion of the second video;
and
the second meta file;
and
storing in a remote database:
the first portion of the first video;
the first portion of the second video;
the first meta file;
and
the second meta file;
at a third computing device executing the native composition application, transmitting a request for public media to the remote computer system;
at the remote computer system, in response to receiving the request for public media, serving to the third computing device:
the first portion of the first video;
and
the first portion of the second video;
at the third computing device:
receiving a selection of a third set of videos comprising the first portion of the first video and the first portion of the second video;
for each video in the third set of videos, defining a video mask for the video in the third set of videos comprising a start point of the video in the third set of videos and a duration of the video in the third set of videos based on the selection of the third set of videos;
and
generating a third meta file representing a third composition and comprising a pointer to each video in the third set of videos, a third set of video masks corresponding to the third set of videos, and a third order of the third set of videos;
and
at the remote computer system:
receiving the third meta file from the third computing device;
and
in response to receiving a request for the third composition from a fourth computing device, serving the third composition to the fourth computing device.
