Video context popups
Video context popups are disclosed. In some implementations, video popups can be displayed in a video editor to provide context to a user who is editing a video clip sequence. In some implementations, a user can indicate a position in a video clip sequence where one or more video clips may be added to the video clip sequence and one or more video popups can be presented that display a portion of one or more video clips that are adjacent to the indicated position. Implementations include a method, system and computer-readable medium for performing video context popups.
1. An editing method comprising:
generating data for displaying a sequence of objects in an interface of a computing device, each of the objects in the sequence having a first display size;
receiving a selection input of an insertion object;
receiving an insertion input indicating a position adjacent to at least one object in the sequence of objects;
generating a context popup for automatically presenting an enlarged view of at least a portion of the at least one object, in response to the insertion input; and
displaying the view in the context popup adjacent to the at least one object in the sequence of objects, the enlarged view having a second display size that is larger than the first display size.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sequence of objects is a sequence of video clips.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating transition data for presenting a transition of the insertion object to the position indicated by the insertion input.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating a second context popup for presenting a second view of at least a portion of a second object.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a second selection of a second insertion object; and
flocking the insertion object and the second insertion object to a cursor location.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
presenting a contextual preview including: the portion of the insertion object, the second insertion object, and the portion of the at least one object.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein displaying the sequence of objects includes, in response to the insertion input, expanding a space in the sequence of objects to accommodate the insertion object and the second insertion object.
8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes:
generating data for displaying a sequence of objects in an interface of a computing device, each of the objects in the sequence having a first display size;
receiving a selection input of an insertion object;
receiving an insertion input indicating a position adjacent to at least one object in the sequence of objects;
generating a context popup for automatically presenting an enlarged view of at least a portion of the at least one object, in response to the insertion input; and
displaying the view in the context popup adjacent to the at least one object in the sequence of objects, the enlarged view having a second display size that is larger than the first display size.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the sequence of objects is a sequence of video clips.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein for:
generating transition data for presenting a transition between the insertion object, and the view of at least the portion of the at least one object in the sequence of objects.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions comprise instructions for:
receiving input indicating a position adjacent to a second object in the sequence of objects; and
generating data for presenting a second view of at least a portion of the second adjacent object.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , the instructions comprise instructions for:
receiving a second selection of a second insertion object; and
flocking the insertion object and the second insertion object to a cursor location.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 , the instructions comprise instructions for:
presenting a contextual preview including: the portion of the insertion object, the second insertion object, and the portion of the at least one object.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein displaying the sequence of objects includes, in response to the insertion input, expanding a space in the sequence of objects to accommodate the insertion object and the second insertion object.
15. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
a computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes:
generating data for displaying a sequence of objects in an interface of a computing device, each of the objects in the sequence having a first display size;
receiving a selection input of an insertion object;
receiving an insertion input indicating a position adjacent to at least one object in the sequence of objects;
generating a context popup for automatically presenting an enlarged view of at least a portion of the at least one object, in response to the insertion input; and
displaying the view in the context popup adjacent to the at least one object in the sequence of objects, the enlarged view having a second display size that is larger than the first display size.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the sequence of objects is a sequence of video clips.
17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions comprise instructions for:
generating transition data for presenting a transition between the insertion object, and the view of at least the portion of the at least one object in the sequence of objects.
18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions comprise instructions for:
generating a second context popup for presenting a second view of at least a portion of a second object.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the instructions comprise instructions for:
receiving a second selection of a second insertion object; and
flocking the insertion object and the second insertion object to a cursor location.
20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the instructions comprise instructions for:
presenting a contextual preview including: the portion of the insertion object, the second insertion object, and the portion of the at least one object.
21. The system of claim 19 , wherein displaying the sequence of objects includes, in response to the insertion input, expanding a space in the sequence of objects to accommodate the insertion object and the second insertion object.
