Abstract

Systems and methods for routing audio for audio-video recordings allow a user to record desired audio with captured video at the time the video is being captured. Audio from one or more sources may be routed to the video capture application and recorded with the video. In one or more examples, audio may be routed from another application, e.g., an audio playback application, running on the same device as the video capture application. In another example, audio may be received from a remote device through a wireless connection. Multiple streams of audio content may be mixed together prior to storing with video. The audio, upon reception, may then be routed to the video capture application for recordation. An audio progression bar may also be provided to indicate duration and elapsed time information associated with the audio being recorded.

Claims (32)

1. A method comprising:

capturing, via an audio video capture application on a device, motion video and first audio content;

upon detecting that at least one audio stream is being output from one or more audio sources, selecting, by the application, one or more of the at least one detected audio stream;

mixing, by the application, the one or more selected audio streams with the first audio content to form second audio content, wherein at least one of the one or more selected audio streams, the first audio content, and the second audio content may be adjusted; and

encoding, by the application, the second audio content with the motion video to a single audio-video file.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the audio video capture application and the one or more audio sources operate on different computing devices.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the different computing devices comprise mobile communication devices.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more audio sources include at least one of an audio playback application, a broadcast receiver, and an external audio system.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein adjusting the characteristics of one or more of the audio streams comprises adjusting a volume, treble or bass of the one or more audio streams.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein capturing motion video and first audio content includes displaying capture specifications including capture resolution, frame rate, and audio sampling rate.

7. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor; and

one or more non-transitory computer readable media storing computer readable instructions configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:

capture, via an audio video capture application, motion video and first audio content;

detect that at least one audio stream is being output from one or more audio sources, and select one or more of the audio streams;

mix the one or more selected audio streams with the first audio content to form second audio content, wherein at least one of the one or more selected audio streams, the first audio content, and the second audio content may be adjusted; and

encode the second audio content with the motion video to a single audio-video file.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the audio video capture application and the one or more audio sources operate on different computing devices.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the different computing devices comprise mobile communication devices.

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the one or more audio sources include at least one of an audio playback application, a broadcast receiver, and an external audio system.

11. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein adjusting the characteristics of one or more of the audio streams comprises adjusting a volume, treble or bass of the one or more audio streams.

12. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein capturing motion video and first audio content includes displaying capture specifications including capture resolution, frame rate, and audio sampling rate.

13. One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing computer readable instructions configured to, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to at least:

capture, via an audio video capture application, motion video and first audio content;

detect that at least one audio stream is being output from one or more audio sources, and select one or more of the audio streams;

mix the one or more selected audio streams with the first audio content to form second audio content, wherein at least one of the one or more selected audio streams, the first audio content and the second audio content may be adjusted; and

encode the second audio content with the motion video to a single audio-video file.

14. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 13 , wherein the audio video capture application and the one or more audio sources operate on different computing devices.

15. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 14 , wherein the different computing devices comprise mobile communication devices.

16. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 13 , wherein the one or more audio sources include at least one of an audio playback application, a broadcast receiver, and an external audio system.

17. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 13 , wherein adjust the characteristics of one or more of the audio streams comprises adjusting a volume, treble or bass of the one or more audio streams.

18. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 13 , wherein capture motion video and first audio content includes displaying capture specifications including capture resolution, frame rate, and audio sampling rate.
