Systems, methods, and media for editing video during playback via gestures

Abstract

Described are computer-based systems, computer-implemented methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for editing video in real-time, or substantially in real-time, using gestures to apply transitions and effects to a plurality of simultaneously played video sources to create an edited video output.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
 detecting a single gesture input from a user, the single gesture input indicative of a selection of at least two input videos and an effect;   measuring one or more of a gesture distance of the single gesture input, a gesture time duration of the single gesture input, a gesture velocity of the single gesture input, or a gesture path of the single gesture input;   determining one or more parameters of the effect indicated by the single gesture input based on the measuring; and   generating an output video based on the at least two input videos by applying the effect according to the one or more parameters.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters includes a duration time of a dissolve effect. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters includes a curve defining a transition effect. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters includes instantaneous rates of change of frames in a wipe transition. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters include one or more of instantaneous intensities, opacities, or alphas of one or more input videos in a dissolve transition. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the effect is a transition that includes one of: a cut transition, a fade transition, a dissolve transition, a wipe transition, or a ripple transition. 
     
     
         7 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
 detecting a single gesture input from a user, the single gesture input indicative of a selection of at least two input videos and an effect;   measuring a property of the single input gesture;   determining one or more parameters of the effect indicated by the single gesture input based on the property;   applying the effect, based on the one or more parameters, to the at least two input videos to generate a combined video; and   providing the combined video as an output.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the property includes one or more of a gesture distance of the single gesture input, a gesture time duration of the single gesture input, a gesture velocity of the single gesture input, or a gesture path of the single gesture input. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the one or more parameters includes a duration time of a dissolve effect. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the one or more parameters includes a curve defining a transition effect. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the one or more parameters includes instantaneous rates of change of frames in a wipe transition. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the one or more parameters include one or more of instantaneous intensities, opacities, or alphas of one or more input videos in a dissolve transition. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the effect is a transition that includes one of: a cut transition, a fade transition, a dissolve transition, a wipe transition, or a ripple transition. 
     
     
         14 . A system comprising:
 one or more processors coupled to a nontransitory computer readable medium having stored thereon software instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:
 detecting a single gesture input from a user, the single gesture input indicative of a selection of at least two input videos and an effect; 
 measuring a property of the single input gesture; 
 determining one or more parameters of the effect indicated by the single gesture input based on the property; 
 applying the effect, based on the one or more parameters, to the at least two input videos to generate a combined video; and 
 providing the combined video as an output. 
   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the property includes one or more of a gesture distance of the single gesture input, a gesture time duration of the single gesture input, a gesture velocity of the single gesture input, or a gesture path of the single gesture input. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the one or more parameters includes a duration time of a dissolve effect. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the one or more parameters includes a curve defining a transition effect. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the one or more parameters includes instantaneous rates of change of frames in a wipe transition. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the one or more parameters include one or more of instantaneous intensities, opacities, or alphas of one or more input videos in a dissolve transition. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the effect is a transition that includes one of: a cut transition, a fade transition, a dissolve transition, a wipe transition, or a ripple transition.
