Abstract
A remote video editing system is provided for editing a video from a remote location without the need to locally save the video every time an edit is made. Briefly described, one embodiment, among others, includes the steps of analyzing characteristics of the video and embedding the information into the video; storing the video and the embedded information at an editing server; receiving edit instructions from a client at the editing server; creating a project file containing the edit instructions received; and editing the video based on the project file.
Claims23
A method for remotely editing a video comprising the steps of:
- storing the video at an editing server in a video file;
- analyzing characteristics of the video and storing the characteristics as metadata associated with the video, wherein the characteristics are comprised of at least one of brightness level, contrast level, detection of faces, detection of motion, and detection of objects within the video;
- receiving edit instructions from a client at the editing server;
- creating, by the editing server, a project file containing the edit instructions received;
- and
- editing video based on the project file and the video file,
- wherein the edit instructions are generated at the client based on each of:
- selecting a portion of the video exhibiting target characteristics among the analyzed characteristics and displaying the selected portion of the video exhibiting the target characteristics;
- and
- displaying at least one style corresponding to the analyzed characteristics, wherein the at least one style comprises a pre-defined set of edit instructions;
- and
- wherein the edit instructions are incorporated into the video based on the analyzed characteristics.
9 more elements
A system for remotely editing a video comprising:
- an analysis module for identifying characteristics of the video and associating the characteristics with the video, wherein the characteristics are comprised of at least one of brightness level, contrast level, detection of faces, detection of motion, and detection of objects within the video;
- and
- an editing server for storing the video in a video file, creating a project file based on edit instructions, editing video based on the project file and video file, and transmitting the edited video to a client, wherein the edit instructions are generated at the client based on each of:
- selecting a portion of the video exhibiting target characteristics among the analyzed characteristics and displaying the selected portion of the video exhibiting the target characteristics;
- and
- displaying at least one style corresponding to the analyzed characteristics, wherein the at least one style comprises a pre-defined set of edit instructions, and
- wherein the edit instructions are incorporated into the video based on the analyzed characteristics.
4 more elements
A system for remotely editing a video comprising, comprising:
- at least one client for analyzing characteristics of a video, and generating edit instructions;
- and
- an editing server in communication with the plurality of clients, the editing server configured to receive the edit instructions, create project files, edit the video based on the project file, wherein the edit instructions are incorporated into the video based on the analyzed characteristics, wherein the characteristics are comprised of at least one of brightness level, contrast level, detection of faces, detection of motion, and detection of objects within the video, wherein the edit instructions are generated at the client based on each of:
- selecting a portion of the video exhibiting target characteristics among the analyzed characteristics and displaying the selected portion of the video exhibiting the target characteristics;
- and
- displaying at least one style corresponding to the analyzed characteristics, wherein the at least one style comprises a pre-defined set of edit instructions.
3 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer program for remotely editing a video when executed by a computer, the computer program comprising:
- logic configured to store the video as a video file;
- logic configured to identify characteristics of the video and associate the characteristics with the video, wherein the characteristics are comprised of at least one of brightness level, contrast level, detection of faces, detection of motion, and detection of objects within the video;
- logic configured to cause the computer to process edit instructions for modifying the video file;
- logic configured to create a project file;
- and
- logic configured to modify the video file based on the project file, wherein the edit instructions are generated at the client based on each of:
- selecting a portion of the video exhibiting target characteristics among the analyzed characteristics and displaying the selected portion of the video exhibiting the target characteristics;
- and
- displaying at least one style corresponding to the analyzed characteristics, wherein the at least one style comprises a pre-defined set of edit instructions, and wherein the edit instructions are incorporated into the video based on the analyzed characteristics.
