Abstract

A video edit may include two videos arranged in a sequence. Motion within the one or both of the videos may be assessed. A transition effect may be selected based on the motion assessed within the video(s), and the video edit may be modified to include the transition effect between the videos. The transition effect may emphasize the motion assessed within the video(s) and/or create continuity of motion during transition between the two videos within the video edit.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for inserting transition effects into video edits, the system comprising:
one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
obtain video edit information defining a video edit, the video edit including a sequence of a first video and a second video adjacent to the first video, the first video captured by an image capture device;
assess motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video, wherein the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video is assessed based on position information for the first video, the position information for the first video characterizing positions of the image capture device during capture of the first video;
select a transition effect based on the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video; and
modify the video edit to include the transition effect between the first video and the second video, the first video preceding or following the transition effect in the video edit, wherein the transition effect in the video edit emphasizes the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video and creates continuity of motion during transition between the first video and the second video within the video edit.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein:
the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video is assessed as pan motion or dolly motion; and
selection of the transition effect based on the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video includes selection of different transition effects based on the motion within the first video being assessed as the pan motion or the dolly motion.

3. A system for inserting transition effects into video edits, the system comprising:
one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
obtain video edit information defining a video edit, the video edit including a sequence of a first video and a second video adjacent to the first video, the first video captured by an image capture device;
assess motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video;
select a transition effect based on the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video; and
modify the video edit to include the transition effect between the first video and the second video.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein:
the transition effect emphasizes the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video; and
the transition effect creates continuity of motion during transition between the first video and the second video within the video edit.

5. The system of claim 3 , wherein the first video precedes or follows the transition effect in the video edit.

6. The system of claim 3 , wherein assessment of the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video includes determination of direction of the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video.

7. The system of claim 3 , wherein assessment of the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video includes determination of dominant motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video.

8. The system of claim 3 , wherein the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video is assessed based on position information for the first video, the position information for the first video characterizing positions of the image capture device during capture of the first video.

9. The system of claim 3 , wherein:
the second video is captured by the image capture device;
motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the second video is assessed; and
the transition effect is selected further based on the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the second video.

10. The system of claim 3 , wherein the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video is assessed as pan motion or dolly motion.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein selection of the transition effect based on the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video includes selection of different transition effects based on the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video being assessed as the pan motion or the dolly motion.

12. A method for inserting transition effects into video edits, the method performed by a computing system including one or more processors, the method comprising:
obtaining, by the computing system, video edit information defining a video edit, the video edit including a sequence of a first video and a second video adjacent to the first video, the first video captured by an image capture device;
assessing, by the computing system, motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video;
selecting, by the computing system, a transition effect based on the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video; and
modifying, by the computing system, the video edit to include the transition effect between the first video and the second video.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein:
the transition effect emphasizes the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video; and
the transition effect creates continuity of motion during transition between the first video and the second video within the video edit.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first video precedes or follows the transition effect in the video edit.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein assessing the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video includes determining direction of the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video.

16. The method of claim 12 , wherein assessing the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video includes determining dominant motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video.

17. The method of claim 12 , wherein the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video is assessed based on position information for the first video, the position information for the first video characterizing positions of the image capture device during capture of the first video.

18. The method of claim 12 , wherein:
the second video is captured by the image capture device;
motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the second video is assessed; and
the transition effect is selected further based on the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the second video.

19. The method of claim 12 , wherein the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video is assessed as pan motion or dolly motion.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein selecting the transition effect based on the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video includes selecting different transition effects based on the motion experienced by the image capture device during capture of the first video being assessed as the pan motion or the dolly motion.
