Abstract

A video may include a capture of a scene, such as a wide-field of view capture of the scene. Context of the video may be assessed and used to suggest framing of the video.

Claims (40)

1. A system for suggesting framing of videos, the system comprising:

one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:

obtain video information defining a video, the video including video content having a progress length, the video content including visual content viewable as a function of progress through the progress length, the visual content having a field of view;

assess context of the video content;

determine a set of framing of the visual content at one or more moments within the progress length based on the context of the video content, individual framings of the visual content defining a positioning of a viewing window within the field of view of the visual content at a corresponding moment within the progress length, the viewing window defining extents of the visual content to be included within a presentation of the video content; and

generate the presentation of the video content using the set of framing of the visual content, wherein generation of the presentation of the video content using the set of framing of the visual content includes presentation of a user interface that includes the set of framing of the visual content, wherein one or more of the individual framings of the visual content are selectable by a user through the user interface for use in the generation of the presentation of the video content.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein:

the set of framing of the visual content includes a first framing of the visual content at a first moment within the progress length and a second framing of the visual content at a second moment within the progress length, the second framing of the visual content different from the first framing of the visual content; and

the presentation of the video content includes a panning transition between the first framing of the visual content at the first moment within the progress length and the second framing of the visual content at the second moment within the progress length, the panning transition including an increase in playback rate for the visual content.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the context of the video content includes direction of audio content captured with the visual content.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the audio content includes recording of a voice captured during capture of the visual content, the direction of the voice is represented by an audio vector, and the set of framing of the visual content is determined based on the audio vector.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the context of the video content includes motion of an image capture device that captured the visual content, and the set of framing of the visual content is determined to follow the motion of the image capture device.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the context of the video content includes motion of a thing captured within the visual content, and the set of framing of the visual content is determined to follow the motion of the thing.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the context of the video content includes a type of activity captured within the visual content, and the set of framing of the visual content is determined based on the type of activity captured within the visual content.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the type of activity captured within the visual content includes an action type, an interview type, a setting type, or a social type.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least two of the individual framings of the visual content that are selectable by the user through the user interface for use in the generation of the presentation of the video content include different framings of the visual content for a single moment within the progress length.

10. A method for suggesting framing of videos, the method performed by a computing system including one or more processors, the method comprising:

obtaining, by the computing system, video information defining a video, the video including video content having a progress length, the video content including visual content viewable as a function of progress through the progress length, the visual content having a field of view;

assessing, by the computing system, context of the video content;

determining, by the computing system, a set of framing of the visual content at one or more moments within the progress length based on the context of the video content, individual framings of the visual content defining a positioning of a viewing window within the field of view of the visual content at a corresponding moment within the progress length, the viewing window defining extents of the visual content to be included within a presentation of the video content; and

generating, by the computing system, the presentation of the video content using the set of framing of the visual content, wherein generating the presentation of the video content using the set of framing of the visual content includes presenting a user interface that includes the set of framing of the visual content, wherein one or more of the individual framings of the visual content are selectable by a user through the user interface for use in generating the presentation of the video content.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein:

the set of framing of the visual content includes a first framing of the visual content at a first moment within the progress length and a second framing of the visual content at a second moment within the progress length, the second framing of the visual content different from the first framing of the visual content; and

the presentation of the video content includes a panning transition between the first framing of the visual content at the first moment within the progress length and the second framing of the visual content at the second moment within the progress length, the panning transition including an increase in playback rate for the visual content.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the context of the video content includes direction of audio content captured with the visual content.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the audio content includes recording of a voice captured during capture of the visual content, the direction of the voice is represented by an audio vector, and the set of framing of the visual content is determined based on the audio vector.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the context of the video content includes motion of an image capture device that captured the visual content, and the set of framing of the visual content is determined to follow the motion of the image capture device.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the context of the video content includes motion of a thing captured within the visual content, and the set of framing of the visual content is determined to follow the motion of the thing.

16. The method of claim 10 , wherein the context of the video content includes a type of activity captured within the visual content, and the set of framing of the visual content is determined based on the type of activity captured within the visual content.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the type of activity captured within the visual content includes an action type, an interview type, a setting type, or a social type.

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein at least two of the individual framings of the visual content that are selectable by the user through the user interface for use in generating the presentation of the video content include different framings of the visual content for a single moment within the progress length.

19. A system for suggesting framing of videos, the system comprising:

one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:

obtain video information defining a video, the video including video content having a progress length, the video content including visual content viewable as a function of progress through the progress length, the visual content having a field of view;

assess context of the video content;

determine a set of framing of the visual content at one or more moments within the progress length based on the context of the video content, individual framings of the visual content defining a positioning of a viewing window within the field of view of the visual content at a corresponding moment within the progress length, the viewing window defining extents of the visual content to be included within a presentation of the video content; and

generate the presentation of the video content using the set of framing of the visual content, wherein generation of the presentation of the video content using the set of framing of the visual content includes presentation of a user interface that includes the set of framing of the visual content, wherein one or more of the individual framings of the visual content are selectable by a user through the user interface for use in the generation of the presentation of the video content, wherein at least two of the individual framings of the visual content that are selectable by the user through the user interface for use in generating the presentation of the video content include different framings of the visual content for a single moment within the progress length.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein:

the set of framing of the visual content includes a first framing of the visual content at a first moment within the progress length and a second framing of the visual content at a second moment within the progress length, the second framing of the visual content different from the first framing of the visual content; and

the presentation of the video content includes a panning transition between the first framing of the visual content at the first moment within the progress length and the second framing of the visual content at the second moment within the progress length, the panning transition including an increase in playback rate for the visual content.
