Abstract

A graphical user interface for setting speed and direction of video playback may include a timeline representation of video duration. Playback speed and playback direction from a selected point of the video may be determined based on user interaction with the graphical user interface. A portion of the video to which the selected playback speed and selected playback direction is applied may be determined based on user movement of the timeline representation.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for presenting an interface for setting speed of video playback, the system comprising:
one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
obtain video information defining video content, the video content having a progress length; and
present a graphical user interface on a display, the graphical user interface including interface elements that facilitate selection of playback speed for the video content, wherein the interface elements include:
a timeline element, the timeline element including a timeline representation of the progress length and enabling user selection of a portion of the video content to which a selected playback speed is applied based on user interaction with the timeline element to move the timeline representation; and
a direction-speed element, the direction-speed element positioned along the timeline element, the direction-speed element representing current moment of the video content, wherein the current moment represented by the direction-speed element is set to be a selected moment from which the selected playback speed is applied based on user interaction with the direction-speed element;

wherein the portion of the video content to which the selected playback speed is applied is determined based on the user interaction with the timeline element to move the timeline representation, the portion of the video content starting or ending with the selected moment within the progress length.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interface elements further include a playback direction element, the playback direction element enabling user selection of playback direction from the selected moment within the progress length, the playback direction selectable via the playback direction element including reverse playback direction or pause playback direction.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user interaction with the timeline element to move the timeline representation includes user interaction with a play element to cause playback of the video content.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user interaction with the timeline element to move the timeline representation includes user interaction with the timeline element to drag the timeline representation.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein a selection element is presented within the timeline element to visually represent the portion of the video content to which the selected playback speed is applied, the selection element extending between the direction-speed element and the selected moment within the progress length.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein a selected portion element is presented with the timeline representation to visually indicate the portion of the video content to which the selected playback speed is applied.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the selected portion element includes a pause symbol based on selection of pause playback direction for the portion of the video content.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the selected portion element further includes visual indication of a duration for which a presentation of the video content will appear to be frozen based on the selection of the pause playback direction for the portion of the video content.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein a selected playback speed element is presented to visually indicate the selected playback speed for the portion of the video content.

10. A method for presenting an interface for setting speed of video playback, the method performed by a computing system including one or more processors, the method comprising:
obtaining, by the computing system, video information defining video content, the video content 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 facilitate selection of playback speed for the video content, wherein the interface elements include:
a timeline element, the timeline element including a timeline representation of the progress length and enabling user selection of a portion of the video content to which a selected playback speed is applied based on user interaction with the timeline element to move the timeline representation; and
a direction-speed element, the direction-speed element positioned along the timeline element, the direction-speed element representing current moment of the video content, wherein the current moment represented by the direction-speed element is set to be a selected moment from which the selected playback speed is applied based on user interaction with the direction-speed element;

wherein the portion of the video content to which the selected playback speed is applied is determined based on the user interaction with the timeline element to move the timeline representation, the portion of the video content starting or ending with the selected moment within the progress length.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the interface elements further include a playback direction element, the playback direction element enabling user selection of playback direction from the selected moment within the progress length, the playback direction selectable via the playback direction element including reverse playback direction or pause playback direction.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the user interaction with the timeline element to move the timeline representation includes user interaction with a play element to cause playback of the video content.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the user interaction with the timeline element to move the timeline representation includes user interaction with the timeline element to drag the timeline representation.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein a selection element is presented within the timeline element to visually represent the portion of the video content to which the selected playback speed is applied, the selection element extending between the direction-speed element and the selected moment within the progress length.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein a selected portion element is presented with the timeline representation to visually indicate the portion of the video content to which the selected playback speed is applied.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the selected portion element includes a pause symbol based on selection of pause playback direction for the portion of the video content.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the selected portion element further includes visual indication of a duration for which a presentation of the video content will appear to be frozen based on the selection of the pause playback direction for the portion of the video content .

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein a selected playback speed element is presented to visually indicate the selected playback speed for the portion of the video content.

19. A system for presenting an interface for setting speed of video playback, the system comprising:
one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
obtain video information defining video content, the video content having a progress length; and
present a graphical user interface on a display, the graphical user interface including interface elements that facilitate selection of playback speed for the video content, wherein the interface elements include:
a timeline element, the timeline element including a timeline representation of the progress length and enabling user selection of a portion of the video content to which a selected
