Abstract

Video editing using contextual data may include collecting metadata from a sensor concurrently with recording a video, wherein the metadata is synchronized in time with the video, detecting attributes within the metadata and attributes from the video, and correlating the attributes with a plurality of editors. An editor may be selected from the plurality of editors according to the correlating and a video editing workflow may be automatically initiated. Content discovery using clusters may include receiving a user request for video content from a device, determining a behavioral cluster for the user according to demographic data for the user, determining a video of interest associated with the behavioral cluster, and providing a video of interest to the device using the processor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method, comprising:
collecting, using a processor, metadata from a sensor concurrently with recording a video, wherein the metadata is synchronized in time with the video; detecting, using the processor, at least one of attributes of the metadata or attributes of the video; correlating, using the processor, the attributes with a plurality of editors; selecting, using the processor, an editor from the plurality of editors according to the correlating; and displaying, using the processor, the selected editor for the video.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
marking clips in the video for trimming according to user activation of a trim control during playback of the video.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
trimming the video according to the marked clips.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a user gesture specifying frame rates of the video over time; and storing the frame rates in association with times in the video.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
aligning visual representations of a plurality of different videos in time; receiving a user input drawing a line over different ones of the visual representations selecting clips of the plurality of different videos to be visible at different times; and generating a mixed video comprising only the selected clips of each of the plurality of videos in chronological order.

6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
adjusting a start time or an end time of at least one of the selected clips to coincide with a detected beat in a time synchronized audio file.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
superimposing metadata on the video.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the metadata is collected from a plurality of different sensors, the method further comprising:
determining which of the plurality of sensors exhibits at least a minimum level of activity during recording of the video; selecting items of the metadata generated from the determined sensor; and superimposing the items of metadata on the video in synchronization with the video.

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
from a first device, inviting a second device to perform distributed video processing; responsive to determining that the second device has accepted the invitation, sending a selected video processing operation of a plurality of video processing operations to the second device; receiving a result of the selected video processing operation from the second device; and combining the result with a result of at least other of the plurality of video processing operations.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
within a device, delaying implementation of a video processing operation until the processor determines that the device is idle and coupled to a power supply.

11 . A system, comprising:
a processor programmed to initiate executable operations comprising: collecting metadata from a sensor concurrently with recording a video, wherein the metadata is synchronized in time with the video; detecting at least one of attributes of the metadata or attributes of the video; correlating the attributes with a plurality of editors; selecting an editor from the plurality of editors according to the correlating; and displaying the selected editor for the video.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further programmed to initiate executable operations comprising:
marking clips in the video for trimming according to user activation of a trim control during playback of the video.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further programmed to initiate executable operations comprising:
trimming the video according to the marked clips.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further programmed to initiate executable operations comprising:
receiving a user gesture specifying frame rates of the video over time; and storing the frame rates in association with times in the video.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further programmed to initiate executable operations comprising:
aligning visual representations of a plurality of different videos in time; receiving a user input drawing a line over different ones of the visual representations selecting clips of the plurality of different videos to be visible at different times; and generating an edited video comprising only the selected clips of each of the plurality of videos in chronological order.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further programmed to initiate executable operations comprising:
adjusting a start time or an end time of at least one of the selected clips to coincide with a detected beat in a time synchronized audio file.

17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further programmed to initiate executable operations comprising:
superimposing metadata on the video.

18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the metadata is collected from a plurality of different sensors and the processor is further programmed to initiate executable operations comprising:
determining which of the plurality of sensors exhibits at least a minimum level of activity during recording of the video; selecting items of the metadata generated from the determined sensor; and superimposing the items of metadata on the video in synchronization with the video.

19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further programmed to initiate executable operations comprising:
from a first device, inviting a second device to perform distributed video processing; responsive to determining that the second device has accepted the invitation, sending a selected video processing operation of a plurality of video processing operations to the second device; receiving a result of the selected video processing operation from the second device; and combining the result with a result of at least other of the plurality of video processing operations.

20 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further programmed to initiate executable operations comprising:
within a device, delaying implementation of a video processing operation until the processor determines that the device is idle and coupled to a power supply.

21 . A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code stored thereon, the program code executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:
collecting metadata from a sensor concurrently with recording a video, wherein the metadata is synchronized in time with the video; detecting at least one of attributes of the metadata or attributes of the video; correlating the attributes with a plurality of editors; selecting an editor from the plurality of editors according to the correlating; and displaying the selected editor for the video.

22 . The computer program product of claim 21 , wherein the method further comprises:
marking clips in the video for trimming according to user activation of a trim control during playback of the video.

23 . The computer program product of claim 22 , wherein the method further comprises:
trimming the video according to the marked clips.

24 . The computer program product of claim 21 , wherein the method further comprises:
receiving a user gesture specifying frame rates of the
