Abstract

A video edit may include one or more segment of a video. A graphical user interface may convey information that indicates video editing decisions made to generate the video edit. The graphical user interface may include a timeline element to represent the length of the video and one or more inclusion elements to visually indicate the segment(s) of the video included in the video edit. The graphical user interface may convey information on the segment(s) of the video that have been automatically included in the video edit and the segment(s) of the video that have been manually included in the video edit.

Claims (39)

1 . A system for presenting an interface for indicating video editing decisions, the system comprising:

one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:

obtain video edit information, the video edit information defining a video edit of a video, the video having a progress length, the video edit of the video including one or more segments of the video selected for inclusion in the video edit; and

present a graphical user interface on a display, the graphical user interface including interface elements, the interface elements including:

a timeline element that represents a zoomed in portion of the progress length of the video;

a summary timeline element that represents an entirety of the progress length of the video; and

a music-synchronization element that enables a user to turn on or turn off music synchronization of the video edit.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the interface elements further include a first inclusion element positioned along the timeline element, the first inclusion element visually indicating that a first segment of the video has been selected for inclusion in the video edit.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the interface elements further include a first summary inclusion element positioned along the summary timeline element, the first summary inclusion element positioned along the summary timeline element corresponding to the first inclusion element positioned along the timeline element, the first summary inclusion element visually indicating that the first segment of the video has been selected for inclusion in the video edit.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the interface elements further include a second summary inclusion element positioned along the summary timeline element, the second summary inclusion element visually indicating that a second segment of the video has been selected for inclusion in the video edit.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the interface elements do not include a second inclusion element positioned along the timeline element based on the second segment of the video being outside the zoomed in portion of the progress length of the video represented by the timeline element, the second inclusion element corresponding to the second summary inclusion element.

6 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the first inclusion element positioned along the timeline element includes one or more shoulder elements based on the music synchronization of the video edit being turned on.

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the first summary inclusion element positioned along the summary timeline element includes one or more summary shoulder elements based on the music synchronization of the video edit being turned on.

8 . The system of claim 6 , wherein an individual shoulder element visually represents a portion of the video not manually selected for inclusion in the video edit.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the interface further includes an automatic selection element that enables the user to turn on or turn off automatic selection of video segments for inclusion in the video edit.

10 . A method for presenting an interface for indicating video editing decisions, the method performed by a computing system including one or more processors, the method comprising:

obtaining, by the computing system, video edit information, the video edit information defining a video edit of a video, the video having a progress length, the video edit of the video including one or more segments of the video selected for inclusion in the video edit; and

presenting, by the computing system, a graphical user interface on a display, the graphical user interface including interface elements, the interface elements including:

a timeline element that represents a zoomed in portion of the progress length of the video;

a summary timeline element that represents entirety of the progress length of the video; and

a music-synchronization element that enables a user to turn on or turn off music synchronization of the video edit.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the interface elements further include a first inclusion element positioned along the timeline element, the first inclusion element visually indicating that a first segment of the video has been selected for inclusion in the video edit.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the interface elements further include a first summary inclusion element positioned along the summary timeline element, the first summary inclusion element positioned along the summary timeline element corresponding to the first inclusion element positioned along the timeline element, the first summary inclusion element visually indicating that the first segment of the video has been selected for inclusion in the video edit.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the interface elements further include a second summary inclusion element positioned along the summary timeline element, the second summary inclusion element visually indicating that a second segment of the video has been selected for inclusion in the video edit.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the interface elements do not include a second inclusion element positioned along the timeline element based on the second segment of the video being outside the zoomed in portion of the progress length of the video represented by the timeline element, the second inclusion element corresponding to the second summary inclusion element.

15 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the first inclusion element positioned along the timeline element includes one or more shoulder elements based on the music synchronization of the video edit being turned on.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the first summary inclusion element positioned along the summary timeline element includes one or more summary shoulder elements based on the music synchronization of the video edit being turned on.

17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein an individual shoulder element visually represents a portion of the video not manually selected for inclusion in the video edit.

18 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the interface further includes an automatic selection element that enables the user to turn on or turn off automatic selection of video segments for inclusion in the video edit.

19 . A system for presenting an interface for indicating video editing decisions, the system comprising:

one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:

obtain video edit information, the video edit information defining a video edit of a video, the video having a progress length, the video edit of the video including one or more segments of the video selected for inclusion in the video edit; and

present a graphical user interface on a display, the graphical user interface including interface elements, the interface elements including:

a timeline element that represents a zoomed in portion of the progress length of the video;

a summary timeline element that represents an entirety of the progress length of the video;

an automatic selection element that enables a user to turn on or turn off automatic selection of video segments for inclusion in the video edit;

a music-synchronization element that enables the user to turn on or turn off music synchronization of the video edit; and

a first inclusion element positioned along the timeline element and a first summary inclusion element positioned along the summary timeline element, the first inclusion element and the first summary inclusion element visually indicating that a first segment of the video has been selected for inclusion in the video edit.

20 . The system of claim 19 , wherein based on the music synchronization of the video edit being turned on, the first inclusion element positioned along the timeline element includes one or more shoulder elements and the first summary inclusion element positioned along the summary timeline element includes one or more summary.
