Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for combining individual functions into shortcuts. The program and method provide for accessing information for a shortcut for performing with respect to an image captured by a device camera, the shortcut corresponding to a combination of individual functions to apply to the image; causing, based on the accessing, display of an interface with a user-selectable element for performing the shortcut with respect to the image; receiving, via the interface, user selection of the user-selectable element; and applying, in response to the receiving, the combination of the individual functions to the image.

Claims (51)

1. A method, comprising:

accessing information for a shortcut for performing with respect to an image captured by a device camera, the shortcut corresponding to a combination of individual functions to apply to the image;

causing, based on the accessing, display of an interface with a user-selectable element for performing the shortcut with respect to the image;

receiving, via the interface, user selection of the user-selectable element; and

applying, in response to the receiving, the combination of the individual functions to the image,

wherein the combination of individual functions comprises at least two of an augmented reality content item, a camera mode or an audio track to apply to the image, and

wherein the camera mode corresponds to at least one of a timeline mode for capturing a series of video clips, a timer mode for setting when to begin video capture, and a slow-motion mode for recording video in slow motion.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the shortcut is accessed from a database storing a plurality of shortcuts, each shortcut of the plurality of shortcuts corresponding to a respective combination of at least two of a respective augmented reality content item, camera mode and audio track to apply to the image.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the interface presents a list of the plurality of shortcuts, each shortcut of the plurality of shortcuts being represented by a respective user-selectable element.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a media content item based on applying the combination of the individual functions to the image.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interface corresponds with playback of a media content item selected from among a plurality of media content items.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the user-selectable element comprises an icon displayed in association with the playback of the media content item.

7. A method, comprising:

accessing information for a shortcut for performing with respect to an image captured by a device camera, the shortcut corresponding to a combination of individual functions to apply to the image;

causing, based on the accessing, display of an interface with a user-selectable element for performing the shortcut with respect to the image;

receiving, via the interface, user selection of the user-selectable element;

applying, in response to the receiving, the combination of the individual functions to the image; and

displaying, in association with the applying, a banner indicating the combination of individual functions corresponding to the shortcut and a name of the shortcut,

wherein the banner includes a second user-selectable element to stop applying the combination of individual functions to the image.

8. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to perform operations comprising:

accessing information for a shortcut for performing with respect to an image captured by a device camera, the shortcut corresponding to a combination of individual functions to apply to the image;

causing, based on the accessing, display of an interface with a user-selectable element for performing the shortcut with respect to the image;

receiving, via the interface, user selection of the user-selectable element; and

applying, in response to the receiving, the combination of the individual functions to the image,

wherein the combination of individual functions comprises at least two of an augmented reality content item, a camera mode or an audio track to apply to the image, and

wherein the camera mode corresponds to at least one of a timeline mode for capturing a series of video clips, a timer mode for setting when to begin video capture, and a slow-motion mode for recording video in slow motion.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the shortcut is accessed from a database storing a plurality of shortcuts, each shortcut of the plurality of shortcuts corresponding to a respective combination of at least two of a respective augmented reality content item, camera mode and audio track to apply to the image.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the interface presents a list of the plurality of shortcuts, each shortcut of the plurality of shortcuts being represented by a respective user-selectable element.

11. The system of claim 8 , the operations further comprising:

generating a media content item based on applying the combination of the individual functions to the image.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the interface corresponds with playback of a media content item selected from among a plurality of media content items.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the user-selectable element comprises an icon displayed in association with the playback of the media content item.

14. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to perform operations comprising:

accessing information for a shortcut for performing with respect to an image captured by a device camera, the shortcut corresponding to a combination of individual functions to apply to the image;

causing, based on the accessing, display of an interface with a user-selectable element for performing the shortcut with respect to the image;

receiving, via the interface, user selection of the user-selectable element;

applying, in response to the receiving, the combination of the individual functions to the image; and

displaying, in association with the applying, a banner indicating the combination of individual functions corresponding to the shortcut and a name of the shortcut,

wherein the banner includes a second user-selectable element to stop applying the combination of individual functions to the image.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:

accessing information for a shortcut for performing with respect to an image captured by a device camera, the shortcut corresponding to a combination of individual functions to apply to the image;

causing, based on the accessing, display of an interface with a user-selectable element for performing the shortcut with respect to the image;

receiving, via the interface, user selection of the user-selectable element; and

applying, in response to the receiving, the combination of the individual functions to the image,

wherein the combination of individual functions comprises at least two of an augmented reality content item, a camera mode or an audio track to apply to the image,

wherein the camera mode corresponds to at least one of a timeline mode for capturing a series of video clips, a timer mode for setting when to begin video capture, and a slow-motion mode for recording video in slow motion.
