Abstract

A system for generating edited video, the system comprises a storage module configured to store a plurality of video tags; a network interface configured to receive an unedited video clip and a video tag selection from a user device and automatically transmit and edited video to a video sharing website; and a transformer module configured to generate an edited video based on the unedited video clip and the video tag selection.

Claims (45)

1. A system for generating edited video, the system comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store computer instructions; and

a processor communicatively coupled with the non-transitory computer readable medium and configured to execute the computer instructions stored therein to:

receive, from a user device, an unedited video, a selection of a first template including a first option for a first feature to be overlaid on at least a portion of an unedited video, and a user-input value for the first option;

generate a production file from the first template including by replacing a default value for the first option with the user-input value for the first option;

generate, based at least in part on the production file, an edited video having the first feature overlaid on at least a portion of the unedited video

transmit a preview of the edited video to the user device in real-time while generating at least a portion of the edited video.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first further includes a second option for a first effect to apply to the unedited video.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first templates further includes a third option for a first embellishment to add to the unedited video.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the first embellishment comprises one of a style, a sound effect, a transition, and a music track.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the production file includes instructions for the processor to generate the edited video.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first feature comprises one or an image, a video track, and a title frame.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first template comprises one of a default template and a user customized template associated with a user account.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the user account is associated with at least one records including login credentials for a video sharing website.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the preview video has a lower resolution than the edited video.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to transmit the preview video to the user device while receiving at least a portion of the unedited video from the user device.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first option comprises one or more parameters defining at least one aspect of the first feature.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one aspect of the first feature comprises a duration, an opacity, a background, and texts associated with the first feature.

13. A system for generating edited video, the system comprising:

a remote server, comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store computer instructions; and

a processor communicatively coupled with the non-transitory computer readable medium and configured to execute the computer instructions stored therein to:

receive an unedited video, selection of a first template including a first option for a first feature, and a user-input value for the first option;

generate a production file from the first template including by replacing a default value for the first option with the user-input value for the first option;

generate, based at least in part on the production file, an edited video having the first feature overlaid on at least a portion of the unedited video; and

transmit a preview of the edited video in real time while generating at least a first portion of the edited video; and

a user device comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store computer instructions; and

a processor communicatively coupled with the non-transitory computer readable medium and configured to execute the computer instruction stored thereon to:

receive, from a user, a selection of the first of a plurality of templates, wherein the first template includes the first option for the first feature to be overlaid over at least a portion of the unedited video;

receive, from the user, the user-input value for the first option;

transmit, to the remote server, the unedited video, the selection of the first template, and the user-input value for the first option; and

receive, from the remote server, a preview of an edited video having the first feature overlaid on at least a portion of the unedited video.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the first template further includes a second option for a first effect to apply to the unedited video.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the first further includes a third option for a first embellishment to add to the unedited video.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the first embellishments include at least comprises one of a style, a sound effect, a transition, and a music track.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the production file includes instructions for the processor to generate the edited video.

18. The system of claim 13 , wherein the first feature comprises one or more of images, a video track, and a title frame.

19. The system of claim 13 , The system of claim 1 , wherein the first template comprises of a default template and a user customized template associated with a user account.

20. The system of claim 19 , the user account is associated with at least one records including login credentials for a video sharing website.

21. The system of claim 13 , wherein the preview video has a lower resolution than the edited video.

22. The system of claim 21 , wherein the remote server is configured to transmit the preview video to the user device while receiving at least a portion of the unedited video from the user device.

23. The system of claim 13 , wherein the user device is configured to receive at least a portion of the preview video from the remote server while transmitting at least a portion of the unedited video to the remote server.

24. The system of claim 13 , wherein the first option comprises one or more parameters defining at least one aspect of the first feature.

25. The system of claim 24 , wherein the at least one aspect of the first feature comprises a duration, an opacity, a background, and texts associated with the first feature.
