ENHANCED TRIM ASSISTANCE FOR VIDEO EDITING ENVIRONMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17850553 titled 'ENHANCED TRIM ASSISTANCE FOR VIDEO EDITING ENVIRONMENTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a software application that can extract audio data from a media file and analyze the speech within it to generate a proposal for trimming the file. The user can then select a portion of the proposed trim and the application will trim the media file accordingly.

  • Software application on a computing device extracts audio data from a media file
  • Analysis of speech in the audio data generates a proposal for trimming the file
  • Visualization of the trim proposal is displayed to the user
  • User can select a portion of the visualization as input
  • The selected portion is used to trim the media file

Potential Applications

  • Video editing software could use this technology to automate the process of trimming videos based on speech analysis.
  • Media streaming platforms could implement this technology to allow users to easily trim audio from video files before sharing or uploading them.

Problems Solved

  • Manual trimming of audio from video files can be time-consuming and tedious. This technology automates the process, saving time and effort.
  • Identifying the most relevant parts of a video based on speech analysis can be challenging. This technology provides a proposal for trimming based on speech analysis, making it easier for users to decide which parts to keep or remove.

Benefits

  • Saves time and effort by automating the process of trimming audio from video files.
  • Provides a visualization of the proposed trim, making it easier for users to make informed decisions.
  • Allows users to easily trim audio from video files without the need for complex video editing software.


Original Abstract Submitted

In an implementation, a software application on a computing device directs the device to extract audio data from a media file comprising the audio data and video data, generate a trim proposal based on analysis of speech in the audio data, and display a visualization of the trim proposal. A user may supply input comprising a selection of at least a portion of the visualization of the trim proposal, in response to which the device trims the media file.
