SHARING OF PRESETS FOR VISUAL EFFECTS OR OTHER COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED EFFECTS

This application describes a system and associated methods for enabling users of video editing, compositing, motion graphics, and other applications to easily store and retrieve presets, have presets modified for compatibility with other applications, share presets with each other, and search for shared presets. The users may utilize different applications that store presets according to different application-specific schemas. The system can automatically translate or conform presets from one application-specific schema to a neutral schema and from the neutral schema to another application-specific schema. This allows a user of one application to share his or her presets with users of different applications. Among other things, this cross-application sharing of presets allows the system implementor to create one user community (e.g., of users of different applications), rather than several individual ones (e.g., an individual user community for each different application). Other features of the system and associated methods are also described. 1. A method of processing video on a server using shared effects and associated presets , the method comprising:receiving, by a server, from a professional user, one or more effects presets created by the professional user, each effects preset having a form;converting, by the server, at least one effects preset to a form usable by the server;receiving, by the server, from a consumer user, a search query for effects;identifying, by the server, effects that satisfy the search query;providing, by the server, a list of the identified effects;receiving, by the server, from the consumer user, a request to use one or more of the identified effects;in response to determining, by the server, that the consumer user is not allowed to access the requested one or more identified effects, denying the request; and receiving, by the server, from the consumer user, a video to which the requested one or more effects is to be applied,', ' ...

Network-based rendering and steering of visual effects

Systems and methods for applying visual effects to video in a client/server or cloud-based system are described. Using a web browser, for example, users can apply and control both simple and sophisticated effects with dynamic real-time previews without downloading client-side software. Rendering and previewing of the effects is done on the server and rendered images can be sent in rapid succession to the client, allowing simple, real-time feedback and control. Other aspects of the technology are also described.

A method , performed by a computing system having a processor , for applying visual effects to video data , the method comprising:receiving video data from a first video capture source, wherein the video data comprises one or more video frames;sending, to a remote rendering server, a least a portion of the one or more video frames; 'wherein the web page specifies one or more controls for applying visual effects to the video data; and', 'receiving, from the remote rendering server, a web page,'} providing for display an indication of one or more visual effects that can be applied to the received video data,', 'wherein the at least one visual effect has at least one associated controllable parameter,', 'receiving, from a user, a selection of at least one visual effect to apply to the video data,'}, 'wherein the remote rendering server is configured to apply the at least one visual effect to the video data,', 'sending, to the remote rendering server, an indication of the selected at least one visual effect to apply to the video data,'}, 'wherein the modified video data comprises one or more video frames modified based on the selected at least one visual effect,', 'receiving, from the remote rendering server, modified video data,'}, 'providing the modified video data for display,', 'while the modified video data is being displayed,', 'receiving, from the user, an indication to modify the at least one controllable parameter associated with the at least one ...

LOCATION AND/OR SOCIAL MEDIA-BASED EFFECTS AND AD PLACEMENT FOR USER-GENERATED MEDIA

The disclosed technology employs systems and methods that use, for example, location data, time data, social media actions, or social preferences to deliver (e.g., in real time) targeted advertising content or media. This advertising content or media can be merged with user-generated media, forming a unified media object having greater value to users, advertisers, and content partners. These unified media objects can then be shared to the benefit of all parties. Furthermore, the disclosed technology may also use location, time, and/or social data to deliver (e.g., in real time) targeted visual or audio effects (or treatments) that can modify and enhance such user-generated media, prior to sharing it. This platform has the benefit that the effects applied are more relevant and engaging to both the user and the viewers of the user's content. 1. A system for incorporating content into user-generated media , the system comprising:a component configured to record or access user-generated media;a component configured to retrieve at least one of location or social activity information; 'wherein the server is configured to send at least one effect or piece of advertising media based at least in part on the retrieved information;', 'a component configured to send, to a server, the retrieved information,'}a component configured to receive an indication of the at least one effect or piece of advertising media;a component configured to receive, from the server, a generated unified media object based at least in part on the user-generated media and the at least one effect or piece of advertising media; anda component configured to send the unified media object to a sharing service.2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:a component configured to store mappings between at least one of location or social activity information and advertising media or effects.3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:a component configured to store mappings between date and time ...
