Abstract

A graphical user interface for framing a video may include a framing element. Responsive to user interaction with the framing element, a framing of the video at a moment may be determined. The framing of the video may define viewing direction, viewing size, viewing rotation, and/or viewing projection for a viewing window. The framing of the video at the moment may be determined based on how the video is being presented when the user interacted with the framing element.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for presenting an interface for framing videos, the system comprising:
one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
present a graphical user interface and visual content of a video having a progress length on a display, the visual content having a field of view, the graphical user interface including interface elements, wherein the interface elements include:
a timeline element including a timeline representation of the progress length of the video;
a framing element enabling setting of framing of the visual content at a moment within the progress length, the framing of the visual content at the moment within the progress length defining a positioning of a viewing window within the field of view of the visual content at the moment within the progress length based on a viewing direction, a viewing size, and a viewing rotation, wherein the framing element enables a user to set the framing of the visual content at multiple moments within the progress length;
one or more framing-maker elements that represent one or more of the framing of the visual content at one or more moments within the progress length; and
a framing-change element between individual pairs of adjacent framing-marker elements, the framing-change element representing changes in the positioning of the viewing window within the field of view of the visual content between individual pairs of adjacent framings corresponding to the individual pairs of the adjacent framing-marker elements.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the framing of the visual content further defines a viewing projection of the visual content within the viewing window.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein one or more visual characteristics of adjacent framing-change elements are different such that a first framing-change element and a second framing-change element adjacent to the first framing-change element are visually different.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more physical processors are further configured by the machine-readable instructions to present a visualization of the changes in the positioning of the viewing window within the field of view of the visual content between the individual pairs of the adjacent framings.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the visualization is manipulatable to modify the changes in the positioning of the viewing window within the field of view of the visual content between the individual pairs of the adjacent framings.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interface elements further include a positioning-change option element presented between a pair of the adjacent framing-marker elements, the positioning-change option element enabling modification of the changes in the positioning of the viewing window within the field of view of the visual content between a pair of the adjacent framings corresponding to the pair of the adjacent framing marker elements via user selection of an interpolation type.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the interpolation type is applied to the changes in the positioning of the viewing window within the field of view of the visual content between all pairs of the adjacent framings.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interface elements further include a moment-to-duration element, the moment-to-duration element enabling extension of a moment within the progress length to a duration longer than the moment, wherein the duration to which the moment is extended is represented by a moment-to-duration marker element.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the moment-to-duration marker element is presented on or adjacent to a portion of the timeline representation corresponding to the duration to which the moment is extended.

10. A method for presenting an interface for framing videos, the method performed by a computing system including one or more processors, the method comprising:
presenting, by the computing system, a graphical user interface and visual content of a video having a progress length on a display, the visual content having a field of view, the graphical user interface including interface elements, wherein the interface elements include:
a timeline element including a timeline representation of the progress length of the video;
a framing element enabling setting of framing of the visual content at a moment within the progress length, the framing of the visual content at the moment within the progress length defining a positioning of a viewing window within the field of view of the visual content at the moment within the progress length based on a viewing direction, a viewing size, and a viewing rotation, wherein the framing element enables a user to set the framing of the visual content at multiple moments within the progress length;
one or more framing-maker elements that represent one or more of the framing of the visual content at one or more moments within the progress length; and
a framing-change element between individual pairs of adjacent framing-marker elements, the framing-change element representing changes in the positioning of the viewing window within the field of view of the visual content between individual pairs of adjacent framings corresponding to the individual pairs of the adjacent framing-marker elements.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the framing of the visual content further defines a viewing projection of the visual content within the viewing window.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein one or more visual characteristics of adjacent framing-change elements are different such that a first framing-change element and a second framing-change element adjacent to the first framing-change element are visually different.

13. The method of claim 10 , further comprising presenting, by the computing system, a visualization of the changes in the positioning of the viewing window within the field of view of the visual content between the individual pairs of the adjacent framings.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the visualization is manipulatable to modify the changes in the positioning of the viewing window within the field of view of the visual content between the individual pairs of the adjacent framings.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the interface elements further include a positioning-change option element presented between a pair of the adjacent framing-marker elements, the positioning-change option element enabling modification of the changes in the positioning of the viewing window within the field of view of the visual content between a pair of the adjacent framings corresponding to the pair of the adjacent framing marker elements via user selection of an interpolation type.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the interpolation type is applied to the changes in the positioning of the viewing window within the field of view of the visual content between all pairs of the adjacent framings.

17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the interface elements further include a moment-to-duration element, the moment-to-duration element enabling extension of a moment within the progress length to a duration longer than the moment, wherein the duration to which the moment is extended is represented by a moment-to-duration marker element.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the moment-to-duration marker element is presented on or adjacent to a portion of the timeline representation corresponding to the duration to which the moment is extended.

19. A system for presenting an interface for framing videos, the system comprising:
