Systems and methods for generation of composite video
Systems and methods for generating a composite video based on a plurality of input streams are provided. A first video stream is received from a first device. A second video stream and coordination information are received from a second device. The coordination information includes instructions for combining the first video stream and the second video stream in a composite video. The first video stream and the second video stream are time aligned, and the instructions of the coordination information and the time-aligned first video stream and second video stream are used to generate the composite video.
1. A computer-implemented method for generating composite video instructions, the method comprising:
receiving, at a coordinating device, a first video stream from a first device and a second video stream from a second device;
displaying, on the coordinating device, the first video stream, the second video stream, and supplemental content, wherein the supplemental content comprises text, images, or video;
detecting user interactions with the coordinating device controlling an aspect of how the first video stream, the second video stream, or the supplemental content is displayed on the coordinating device;
detecting user interactions with the coordinating device indicating a selection to not display at least one of the first video stream or the second video stream
generating, at the coordinating device, coordination instructions based on the received user interactions, wherein the coordination instructions includes a command for controlling the aspect of how the first video stream, the second video stream, or the supplemental content is displayed in a composite video, and wherein the coordination instructions further includes an indication to not display the selected first video stream or second video stream; and
transmitting the coordination instructions to a compositing engine device distinct from and external to the coordinating device, wherein the compositing engine device uses the coordination instructions for combining the first video stream, the second video stream, and the supplemental content into the composite video according to the aspect of how the first video stream, the second video stream, or the supplemental content is displayed and the indication to not display the selected first video stream or second video stream.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the supplemental content comprises a website, a presentation, or a third video stream.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the supplemental content is received by the coordinating device from a third device.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the aspect is the position of the first video stream, the second video stream, or the supplemental content on the display.
5. The method of claim 4 wherein the user interactions controlling the position of the first video stream, the second video stream, or the supplemental content comprises a drag and drop action.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the aspect is the displayed size of the first video stream, the second video stream, or the supplemental content.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein the aspect is playback instructions controlling the playback of the first video stream, the second video stream, or the supplemental content.
8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instruction that, when executed by a processor, perform a method for generating composite video instructions, the method comprising:
receiving, at a coordinating device, a first video stream from a first device;
displaying, on the coordinating device, the first video stream and supplemental content, wherein the supplemental content comprises text, images, or video;
detecting user interactions with the coordinating device controlling an aspect of how the first video stream or supplemental content is displayed on the coordinating device;
generating, at the coordinating device, coordination instructions based on the received user interactions, wherein the coordination instructions includes a command for controlling the aspect of how the first video stream or the supplemental content is displayed in a composite video; and
transmitting the coordination instructions to a compositing engine device distinct from and external to the coordinating device, wherein the compositing engine device uses the coordination instructions for combining the first video stream and the supplemental content into the composite video according to the aspect of how the first video stream or the supplemental content is displayed.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein the supplemental content comprises a website, a presentation, or a second video stream.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein the supplemental content is received by the coordinating device from a third device.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein the aspect is the position of the first video stream or the supplemental content on the display.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 wherein the user interactions controlling the position of the first video stream or the supplemental content comprises a drag and drop action.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein the aspect is the displayed size of the first video stream or the supplemental content.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein the aspect is playback instructions controlling the playback of the first video stream or the supplemental content.
