Video Enhancements
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to three-dimensional (3D) video calls where at least some participants are assigned a position in a virtual 3D space. Additional aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an automated effects engine that can A) convert a source still image into a flythrough video; B) produce a transform video that replaces portions of a source video with an alternate visual effect; and/or C) produce a switch video that automatically matches frames between multiple source videos and stiches together the videos at the match points. Further aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a platform for the creation and deployment of automatic video effects that respond to lyric content and lyric timing values for audio associated with a video and/or that respond to beat types and beat timing values for audio associated with a video.
1 . A method for stitching together portions of multiple source videos at automatically matched frames, the method comprising:
receiving the multiple source videos;
identifying one or more breakpoints, with an ending frame, in one or more of the multiple source videos;
for each particular breakpoint, of the one or more breakpoints, determining a frame in another of the multiple source videos that matches the ending frame of the particular breakpoint; and
building a switch video that switches, between segments of the source videos, from each ending frame of each breakpoint to the matched frame of the other source video.
2 . A method for deployment of automatic video effects that respond to lyric content and/or lyric timing values for audio associated with a video, the method comprising:
obtaining video and one or more applied audio-based effects;
obtaining audio lyric content and timing values; and
applying an AR filter to the video that passes the audio lyric content and/or timing values to the one or more applied audio-based effects, wherein execution of logic of the one or more applied audio-based effects, based on the audio lyric content and/or timing values, modify a rendering of the video.
3 . A method for deployment of automatic video effects that respond to beat type and/or beat timing values for audio associated with a video, the method comprising:
obtaining video and one or more applied audio-based effects;
obtaining audio beat type and timing values; and
applying an AR filter to the video that passes the audio beat type and/or timing values to the one or more applied audio-based effects, wherein execution of logic of the one or more applied audio-based effects, based on the audio beat type and/or timing values, modify a rendering of the video.
