Abstract
A method and apparatus for storing and displaying information about the capture and/or transfer of digital media is provided, wherein data is stored such that a visual representation indicating characteristics of video data, such as whether portions of the video data have been transferred to another device or captured to a storage device, may be generated and displayed.
Claims34
A method comprising:
- accessing metadata associated with a video clip stored on a first storage device, the metadata indicating that a first segment of the video clip from a first point to a second point has been captured to another storage device, and that a second segment of the video clip from a third point to a fourth point has not been captured to another storage device;
- and
- displaying, based at least in part upon the metadata, a graphical display that includes a graphical timeline for the video clip, a first graphical section corresponding to the first segment of the video clip, and a second graphical section corresponding to the second segment of the video clip, wherein the first and second graphical sections are placed within the graphical display such that it is visually discernible where the first and second segments of the video clip are located along the timeline of the video clip, and wherein the first graphical section is displayed in a first manner to indicate that the first segment of the video clip has been captured to another storage device, and the second graphical section is displayed in a second and different manner to indicate that the second segment of the video clip has not been captured to another storage device;
- wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.

A computer-readable storage medium carrying instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the operations of:
- accessing metadata associated with a video clip stored on a first storage device, the metadata indicating that a first segment of the video clip from a first point to a second point has been captured to another storage device, and that a second segment of the video clip from a third point to a fourth point has not been captured to another storage device;
- and
- displaying, based at least in part upon the metadata, a graphical display that includes a graphical timeline for the video clip, a first graphical section corresponding to the first segment of the video clip, and a second graphical section corresponding to the second segment of the video clip, wherein the first and second graphical sections are placed within the graphical display such that it is visually discernible where the first and second segments of the video clip are located along the timeline of the video clip, and wherein the first graphical section is displayed in a first manner to indicate that the first segment of the video clip has been captured to another storage device, and the second graphical section is displayed in a second and different manner to indicate that the second segment of the video clip has not been captured to another storage device.
A method comprising:
- displaying a list of video clips stored on a first storage device;
- in response to user input selecting a video clip on the list, displaying a graphical display that includes a graphical depiction of a duration of the video clip, a first graphical section, and a second graphical section, wherein the first graphical section corresponds to a first segment of the video clip that has been captured to another storage device and the second graphical section corresponds to a second segment of the video clip that has not been captured to another storage device, wherein the first and second graphical sections are placed within the graphical display such that it is visually discernible where the first and second segments of the video clip are located within the duration of the video clip, and wherein the first graphical section is displayed in a first manner to indicate that the first segment of the video clip has been captured to another storage device, and the second graphical section is displayed in a second and different manner to indicate that the second segment of the video clip has not been captured to another storage device;
- displaying at least a portion of the video clip;
- and
- displaying a graphical indicator that indicates where, within the duration of the video clip, the portion of the video clip that is being displayed is located;
- wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
