Abstract

Systems and methods for displaying a simplified version of a modification of a media content item on a mobile device are provided. The mobile device can receive, via a user interface presented on the mobile device, a request for a desired modification of an original media content item. The mobile device can perform a simplified version of the desired modification of the original media content item. The mobile device can present a preview of the modified media content item in the user interface. The mobile device can transmit, to another computing device, the original media content item with the request for the desired modification.

Claims (46)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving, via a user interface presented on a mobile device, a request for a desired modification of an original media content item, the desired modification to be applied to the original media content item on another computing device;

prior to transmitting the request for the desired modification of the original media content item to the other computing device:

performing, by a processing device of the mobile device, a simplified version of the desired modification of the original media content item at substantially the same time as a receipt of the request for the desired modification via the user interface, wherein the desired modification includes more operations than the simplified version of the desired modification, wherein the operations of the desired modification use one or more reference media content items that are different from the original media content item and are not used for the simplified version of the desired modification, and wherein performing the simplified version of the desired modification of the original media content item involves less computing resources than performing the desired modification of the original media content item; and

presenting, in the user interface on the mobile device, a preview of a modified media content item resulting from the simplified version of the desired modification; and

transmitting, to the other computing device, the original media content item with the request for the desired modification to be applied to the original media content item.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving, via the user interface, a confirmation of the request for the desired modification of the original media content item.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the other computing device is another mobile device.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving the media content item with the desired modification from the other computing device; and

displaying the media content item with the desired modification in the user interface.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the desired modification of the media content item includes one or more filters that modify an audio or a visual presentation of the media content item.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein the one or more filters include an adjustment to a color, saturation, contrast, brightness, tint, focus, spatial property, stabilization, or exposure of the media content item.

7. The method of claim 5 wherein the one or more filters include an effect or enhancement, a framed border, a color overlay, a blur, a sepia effect, a lens flare, erasure of audio, or dubbing of audio.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the other computing device is a stationary computing system.

9. A system for a mobile device, comprising:

a user interface of the mobile device;

a memory; and

a processing device coupled with user interface and the memory to:

receive, via the user interface, a request for a desired modification of an original media content item, the desired modification to be applied to the original media content item on another computing device;

prior to transmitting the request for the desired modification of the original media content item to the other computing device, perform a simplified version of the desired modification of the original media content item at substantially the same time as a receipt of the request for the desired modification via the user interface, wherein the desired modification includes more operations than the simplified version of the desired modification, wherein the operations of the desired modification use one or more reference media content items that are different from the original media content item and are not used for the simplified version of the desired modification, and wherein performing the simplified version of the desired modification of the original media content item involves less computing resources than performing the desired modification of the original media content item;

present, in the user interface of the mobile device, a preview of a modified media content item resulting from the simplified version of the desired modification; and

transmit, to the other computing device, the original media content item with the request for the desired modification to be applied to the original media content item.

10. The system of claim 9 , the processing device further to:

receive, via the user interface, a confirmation of the request for the desired modification of the original media content item.

11. The system of claim 9 , the processing device further to:

receive the media content item with the desired modification from the other computing device; and

display the media content item with the desired modification in the user interface.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the desired modification of the media content item includes one or more filters that modify an audio or a visual presentation of the media content item.

13. The system of claim 12 wherein the one or more filters include an adjustment to a color, saturation, contrast, brightness, tint, focus, spatial property, stabilization, or exposure of the media content item.

14. The system of claim 12 wherein the one or more filters include an effect or enhancement, a framed border, a color overlay, a blur, a sepia effect, a lens flare erasure of audio, or dubbing of audio.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the other computing device is a stationary computing system.

16. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium encoding instructions thereon that, in response to execution by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving, via a user interface presented on a mobile device, a request for a desired modification of an original media content item, the desired modification to be applied to the original media content item on another computing device;

prior to transmitting the request for the desired modification of the original media content item to the other computing device:

performing a simplified version of the desired modification of the original media content item, wherein the desired modification includes more operations than the simplified version of the desired modification at substantially the same time as a receipt of the request for the desired modification via the user interface, wherein the operations of the desired modification use one or more reference media content items that are different from the original media content item and are not used for the simplified version of the desired modification, and wherein performing the simplified version of the desired modification of the original media content item involves less computing resources than performing the desired modification of the original media content item; and

presenting, in the user interface on the mobile device, a preview of a modified media content item resulting from the simplified version of the desired modification; and

transmitting, to the other computing device, the original media content item with the request for the desired modification to be applied to the original media content item.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , the processing device further to perform:

receiving, via the user interface, a confirmation of the request for the desired modification of the original media content item.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 the processing device further to perform:

receiving the media content item with the desired modification from the other computing device; and

displaying the media content item with the desired modification in the user interface.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the desired modification of the media content item includes one or more filters that modify an audio or a visual presentation of the media content item.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the other computing device is a stationary computing system.
