Abstract

A graphical user interface for indicating video editing decisions may include an inclusion marker element, an exclusion marker element, and a selection marker element. The inclusion marker element may indicate a segment of a video that has been marked for inclusion in a video edit. The exclusion marker element may indicate a segment of the video has been marked for exclusion from the video edit. The selection marker element may indicate a segment of the video has been selected for inclusion in the video edit.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for presenting an interface for indicating video editing decisions, the system comprising:
one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
obtain video information defining a video, the video having a progress length; and
present a graphical user interface on a display, the graphical user interface including interface elements that convey information relating to the video, the interface elements including a timeline element that represents the progress length of the video, wherein the interface elements further include edit decision elements that convey editing decisions for the video made by a user or a video software to generate a video edit, the editing decisions for the video by the user or the video software including marking of segments of the progress length for inclusion or exclusion from the video edit, wherein segments of the progress length that are or will be included in the video edit is determined based on the editing decisions for the video, wherein the edit decision elements include:
an inclusion marker element for a first segment of the progress length, the inclusion marker element indicating that the first segment of the progress length has been marked for inclusion in the video edit by the user or the video software;
an exclusion marker element for a second segment of the progress length, the exclusion marker element indicating that the second segment of the progress length has been marked for exclusion from the video edit by the user or the video software; and
a selection marker element for a third segment of the progress length, the selection marker element indicating that the third segment of the progress length has been included or will be included in the video edit, wherein the third segment of the progress length includes the first segment of the progress length and excludes the second segment of the progress length;
wherein presentation of the inclusion marker element, the exclusion marker element, and the selection marker element enables determination of the video edit including one or more portions of the video based on marking of segments for inclusion in the video edit, the video edit excluding one or more portions of the video based on marking of segments for exclusion from the video edit, and the video edit including or excluding one or more portions of the video based on non-marking of segments for inclusion in or exclusion from the video edit.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the inclusion marker element and the exclusion marker element are overlaid on top of the timeline element, position of the inclusion marker element on the timeline element indicating location of the first segment of the progress length and position of the exclusion marker element on the timeline element indicating location of the second segment of the progress length.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the inclusion marker element includes a bar of a first color and the exclusion marker element includes a bar of a second color, the first color different from the second color.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the selection marker element is positioned along the timeline element, position of the selection marker element along the timeline element indicating location of the third segment of the progress length.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the selection marker element includes a bar of a third color, the third color different from the first color and the second color.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interface elements further include event elements, the event elements representing moments within the progress length at which events occur.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the event elements include a manual event element and an automatic event element, the manual event element representing a moment at which a corresponding event is manually identified, the automatic event element representing a moment at which a corresponding event is automatically identified, the manual event element visually different from the automatic event element.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interface elements further include a flexible selection marker element for a fourth segment of the progress length, the flexible selection marker element indicating that the fourth segment of the progress length is available for automatic inclusion in the video edit to grow the vide edit and synchronize the video edit with music, wherein the fourth segment does not include segments marked for inclusion in the video edit or segments marked for exclusion from the video edit.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the graphical user interface includes a summary section and a zoom section separate from the summary section, the summary section including the edit decision elements for entirety of the progress length of the video, and the zoom section including the edit decision elements for a zoomed portion of the progress length of the video.

10. A method for presenting an interface for indicating video editing decisions, 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 having a progress length; and
presenting, by the computing system, a graphical user interface on a display, the graphical user interface including interface elements that convey information relating to the video, the interface elements including a timeline element that represents the progress length of the video, wherein the interface elements further include edit decision elements that convey editing decisions for the video made by a user or a video software to generate a video edit, the editing decisions for the video by the user or the video software including marking of segments of the progress length for inclusion or exclusion from the video edit, wherein segments of the progress length that are or will be included in the video edit is determined based on the editing decisions for the video, wherein the edit decision elements include:
an inclusion marker element for a first segment of the progress length, the inclusion marker element indicating that the first segment of the progress length has been marked for inclusion in the video edit by the user or the video software;
an exclusion marker element for a second segment of the progress length, the exclusion marker element indicating that the second segment of the progress length has been marked for exclusion from the video edit by the user or the video software; and
a selection marker element for a third segment of the progress length, the selection marker element indicating that the third segment of the progress length has been included or will be included in the video edit, wherein the third segment of the progress length includes the first segment of the progress length and excludes the second segment of the progress length;
wherein presentation of the inclusion marker element, the exclusion marker element, and the selection marker element enables determination of the video edit including one or more portions of the video based on marking of segments for inclusion in the video edit, the video edit excluding one or more portions of the video based on marking of segments for exclusion from the video edit, and the video edit including or excluding one or more portions of the video based on non-marking of segments for inclusion in or exclusion from the video edit.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the inclusion marker element and the exclusion marker element are overlaid on top of the timeline element, position of the inclusion marker element on the timeline element indicating location of the first segme
