Abstract
Synchronizing audio and video streams to enable automatic generation of dailies, including: identifying a first time in the audio stream when a sound occurs from closing clapper sticks; identifying a second time in the video stream when there is an image of the clapper sticks closed, wherein the clapper sticks include symbols or patterns applied on a surface of the clapper sticks which appear complete when the clapper sticks are closed; and synchronizing the audio and video streams using the first and the second time.
Claims20
A method for synchronizing audio and video streams to enable automatic generation of dailies, the method comprising:
- identifying a first time in the audio stream when a sound occurs from closing clapper sticks;
- identifying a second time in the video stream when there is an image of the clapper sticks closed,
- wherein the clapper sticks include symbols or patterns applied on a surface of the clapper sticks which appear complete when the clapper sticks are closed;
- and
- synchronizing the audio and video streams using the first and the second time.
A system for synchronizing audio and video streams to enable automatic generation of dailies, the system comprising:
- an audio processor to receive and process the audio stream to identify a first time in the audio stream when a sound occurs from bringing clapper sticks together;
- a video processor to receive and process the video stream to identify a second time in the video stream when there is an image of the clapper sticks brought together,
- wherein the clapper sticks include symbols or patterns applied on a surface of the clapper sticks which appear complete when the clapper sticks are brought together;
- and
- a synchronization processor to synchronize the audio and video streams using the first and the second time.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program to synchronize audio and video streams to enable automatic generation of dailies, the computer program comprising executable instructions that cause a computer to:
- identify a first time in the audio stream when a sound occurs from closing clapper sticks;
- identify a second time in the video stream when there is an image of the clapper sticks closed,
- wherein the clapper sticks include symbols or patterns applied on a surface of the clapper sticks which appear complete when the clapper sticks are closed;
- and
- synchronize the audio and video streams using the first and the second time.
