Original Abstract Submitted
Various implementations present video content along with time-synchronized environment lighting effects (e.g., light-spill). The environment lighting effects are based on obtaining a stored environment parameter specifying the effects for different times during the video content (e.g., effects stored as a track/metadata of the content itself or effects stored in a separate lookup table). A content creator is enabled to specify, for their content item, the light-spill (color, intensity, saturation, brightness/nits, opacity, etc.) or other environment lighting effects, such as making a sun effect brighter using HDR. The ability to specify such effects may give those content creators and editors more control over the content-viewing experience. Predefined/stored effects may also facilitate using effects in the case of real-time streaming in which on-the-fly, automatic content-based effect determinations may be infeasible.
