Abstract
A system in accordance with the present invention may include one or more processors, memory that receives instructions from the one or more processors according to a clock operating at a frequency, one or more programs stored in the memory, with instructions to: access media content, wherein the media content is associated with meta data, media characteristics, or other media-related data; couple certain of the media content to a style; and, organize the coupled certain of the media content according to the style and the meta data, media characteristics, or other media-related data.
Claims21
A computer-implemented method for authoring media presentations, comprising:
- receiving a selection of media content by a processor-based system, the selection of media content being associated with meta data, media characteristics, or other media-related data;
- coupling the selection of media content to a style;
- detecting a drag-and-drop operation on the selection of media content, moving the selection of media content to a media authoring portion of a graphical user interface;
- and
- in response to the detecting the drag-and-drop operation, automatically organizing, by the processor-based system, the selection of media content into a stack with media content previously-moved into the media authoring portion, the stack organized according to the style and the meta data, media characteristics, or other media-related data of the selection of media content, the stack interposing a foreground layer over a background layer such that at least a portion of the background layer is obscured from view.
A system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory;
- one or more programs stored in memory, the one or more programs comprising instructions to:
- receive a selection of media content, the selection of media content being associated with meta data, media characteristics, or other media-related data;
- couple the selection of media content to a style;
- detect a drag-and-drop operation on the selection of media content, moving the selection of media content to a media authoring portion of a graphical user interface;
- and
- in response to the detecting the drag-and-drop operation, automatically organize the selection of the media content into a stack with media content previously-moved into the media authoring portion, the stack organized according to the style and the meta data, media characteristics, or other media-related data of the selection of media content, the stack interposing a foreground layer over a background layer such that at least a portion of the background layer is obscured from view.
A computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured for execution by a computer, the one or more programs comprising instructions to:
- receive a selection of media content, the selection of media content being associated with meta data, media characteristics, or other media-related data;
- couple the selection of media content to a style;
- detect a drag-and-drop operation on the selection of media content, moving the selection of media content to a media authoring portion of a graphical user interface;
- and
- in response to the detecting the drag-and-drop operation, automatically organize the selection of media content into a stack with media content previously-moved into the media authoring portion, the stack organized according to the style and the meta data, media characteristics, or other media-related data of the selection of media content, the stack interposing a foreground layer over a background layer such that at least a portion of the background layer is obscured from view.
