APPARATUS FOR AND METHODS OF RECORDING AND/OR REPRODUCING DIGITAL DATA

Audiovisual effects processing method and apparatus for instantaneous storage-based playback of audio data in synchronization with video data

The present invention overcomes the serious practical limitations inherent in presently-existing RAM based audiovisual effects processing systems for essentially instantaneous playback of data. The method of the invention divides individual audio effects into two discrete segments and stores these two segments in a distributed storage system. The first segment of an effect is stored in memory (114), allowing nearly instantaneous access and playback of this segment. The second segment is stored in a storage device (116) with a relatively long access time. In operation, the first portion of the effect is played from memory, while the second portion is simultaneously retrieved from storage, such that the second portion is retrieved and is available for playback by the time the playing of the first segment terminates. Playback of these two segments in perfect succession effectively furnishes instantaneous playback of audio data, while reducing cost, facilitating loading of effects data, and ...

VIDEODISC AND VIDEODISC PLAYER, AND VISION MIXING SIMULATOR USING THE SAME

An interactive video mixing simulator system uses a videodisc on which the outputs of a plurality of television cameras are recorded in interleaved format. There are three sequences of frames with blocks of 20 frames of each sequence being cyclically interleaved. On replay of one sequence, the read head reads one block and then jumps two blocks (40 frames). To change sequences, the size of the jump is altered for one jump only. By the interleaving of blocks the time interval between discontinuities in the accompanying audio signal is increased from 40ms to 0.8s making them much easier to mask. The blocks may include an extra frame such that the first frame of each block repeats the last frame of the preceding block in the same sequence, thus reducing the visible discontinuities on the jump. ...

METHOD FOR PLAYING BACK AND SEPARATELY STORING AUDIO AND VIDEO TRACKS IN THE INTERNET

In the method an indefinite number of audio tracks are stored separately for each video film, in order to be played back in sync with the video in the Internet. Hence, a video can be stored in any number of languages, and at any time the language can be changed in real time during the playback of the video without having to reload the video. This method works well for different sources, for example, different video platforms, on which the same video is offered, because the platforms all use the same stored audio tracks. This feature and the small size of the audio tracks reduce the upload and memory requirement by about 90%, as compared to the conventional method of having to provide in each case a single video, including the audio/language track, for each individual language.

Media-Editing Application with Video Segmentation and Caching Capabilities

For a media-editing application that creates a composite media presentation, some embodiments of the invention provide a method for reducing rendering operations by dividing the composite presentation into several segments and rendering the segments in a manner that allows for these segments to move with respect to each other without losing the rendered results. The media-editing application defines portions of a media presentation as segments. When the media-editing application renders a segment of the media presentation, the application computes an identifier that uniquely identifies the segment and then uses this identifier to store and later retrieve the rendered result for the segment. The application in some embodiments computes the identifier based on a set of attributes of the segment, and stores the results of rendering the segment at a location that is uniquely identifiable in a storage structure by the identifier.

Efficient Media Processing

Some embodiments provide a media-editing application. The application includes several image processing destinations for performing operations on video images.

The scheduling engine includes a first set of instructions for scheduling images based on a speed at which a particular one of the several destinations processes the images when none of the destinations require images in real-time. The scheduling engine includes a second set of instructions for scheduling images based on a real-time clock when at least one of the several destinations requires images in real-time.

Media-Editing Application with Anchored Timeline

A media application of some embodiments includes a timeline, which is a composite display area for displaying media clips that are part of the composite media presentation.

The spine represents a primary sequence of media, which, in some embodiments, does not have any gaps. When a clip is deleted or removed from the timeline, the media-editing applications automatically closes the gap created in place of the clip. The clips in the anchor lanes are anchored to a particular position along the spine. Anchor lanes may be used for compositing (e.g., removing portions of one video and showing a different video in those portions), B-roll cuts (i.e., cutting away from the primary video to a different video whose clip is in the anchor lane), audio clips, or other composite presentation techniques.

Application of speed effects to a video presentation

Some embodiments provide a method of specifying speed effects for playing a video clip. The method defines a set of speed effects for the video clip.

This method represents the playback speed of a video clip in terms of a graph that is part of a graphical user interface (“GUI”). This graph is defined along two axes, with one axis representing the playback time, and the other axis representing the content-time (i.e., the time within the video clip). A user can select and adjust the graph at different instances in time in order to change the playback speed of the video clip at these instances. Some embodiments use a deformable line bar superimposed on a rectangle that represents the video clip to represent playback speed.

VIDEO DATA PROVISION

Video clips are generated from a sequence of video data for delivery and playback on demand. Each clip () is identified by an event marker () and a pre/post event ratio (PPER). The pre/post event ratio determines the relative duration of the clip before and after the element defined by the event marker. In response to a request for video clip data, identified with reference to the event marker (), the discrete elements () of video data making up each clip are allocated to a sequence starting with the element associated with the event marker () and following in an order ( etc) determined by the pre/post event ratio. This allows clips having different durations but having the same PPER to be transmitted to different receivers dependant on channel capacity or reliability. The receiver may compile clips of a selected length by compiling the elements starting at the event marker and adding the elements in a sequence, before and after the event marker, determined by the PPER until a clip of a required length is complete. A sequence of several clips can be compiled, the event markers for different clips having different priorities such that if a short sequence is required, the low priority clips are omitted or abbreviated. 1. A method of generating video clips from a sequence of video data for delivery and playback on demand , wherein the sequence is made up of discrete elements of video data , wherein each clip is identified by an event marker and a pre/post event ratio , the event marker defining one of the discrete elements in the sequence , and the pre/post event ratio determines the relative proportions of the duration of the clip before the element defined by the event marker and the duration of the clip after the element defined by the event marker , and wherein , in response to a request for video clip data , identified with reference to the event marker , the discrete elements of video data making up each clip are allocated to a sequence starting with the element ...
