Fig. 2 A has described the synoptic diagram example that each video clipping 200 is shown as the user interface 100 of thumbnail.Video clipping 200 comprises from the moment of opening writing function and beginning to moment that writing function is closed content by the recording unit record.When the video clipping in the video library 200 uploaded in the user interface 100, each video clipping 200 was shown as delegation or multirow rectangle thumbnail.The time line of video clipping 200 is advanced from left to right and from the top down.In some was implemented, each video clipping 200 can be represented by single rectangle thumbnail, separated each thumbnail by the distance of system definition, to distinguish video clipping.Thumbnail shows in first row, surpasses the width of shown media pane 105 up to the width summation of thumbnail.Follow-up thumbnail is wound up into the next line in the media pane 105.Groove as system's appointed interval separates two row thumbnails.
Fig. 2 B has described the synoptic diagram example that video clipping 200 is shown as the user interface 100 of thumbnail group 203.The thumbnail group 203 of common expression video clipping is shown as one or more rectangle thumbnails 205 of continuous sequence.Vertical and the lateral dimension of each thumbnail 205 is specified by system.Each video clipping 200 is represented jointly by thumbnail group 203.Each thumbnail group 203 can comprise one or more thumbnails 205.Thumbnail 205 about identical thumbnail group 203 is shown as a continuous sequence.Be shown as corresponding to the independent thumbnail group 203 of video clipping and make first thumbnail 205 of last thumbnail 205 and follow-up thumbnail group 203 of thumbnail group 203 separate.The order that the display order of thumbnail is captured corresponding to the corresponding video montage in the thumbnail group.Advancing of time corresponding to thumbnail from the top down location from left to right and in vertical direction in the horizontal direction.Based on user's input, video clipping 200 can be included in the user interface 100 or therefrom remove.When the thumbnail group 203 corresponding to video clipping 200 was hidden, remaining thumbnail group 203 rearranged, to fill the gap corresponding to the thumbnail group 203 that is hidden.By this way, thumbnail group 203 shows in the mode that is similar to word in the word processing using user interface.
Video content for portion of time section in each thumbnail 205 designated montage 200.With duration of video clipping 200 divided by the time period that is assigned to each thumbnail 205.By this way, determined the number of thumbnail 205 in the required thumbnail group 203 of display of video clips 200.The time period that the duration of video clipping 200 can be assigned to each thumbnail 205 divides exactly, and does not have the remaining time.In this case, when duration of video clipping 200 when being assigned to the time of each thumbnail 205, the number of thumbnail 205 equals the merchant (Q) of the formula of removing in the required thumbnail group 203 of display of video clips 200, and not free residue.Q the thumbnail 205 that video clipping 200 is striden in the thumbnail group 203 shows.Alternatively, with whole time period of video clipping 200 divided by the time period that is assigned to each thumbnail 205 after, have the time residue.In this case, the merchant (Q) that the number of thumbnail 205 equals the formula of removing in the required thumbnail group 203 of display of video clips 200 adds one.(Q+1) individual thumbnail 205 that video clipping 200 is striden in the thumbnail group 203 shows.And, in this case, corresponding to time period of last thumbnail 205 in the thumbnail group 203 less than time period corresponding to other thumbnail 205 in the thumbnail group 203.But, the size about all thumbnails 205 in the thumbnail group 203 of video clipping 200 is equal to each other.When the cursor on the display device was put on the thumbnail, the fragment that does not comprise video content in video clipping 200 last thumbnail 205 was filled with a kind of color (for example, grey).By this way, the user can easily pick out the filling part of last thumbnail 205 in the thumbnail group 203 without any video content.The sleazy fragment of thumbnail 205 is not used when editor.Equate and avoid demonstration by the size that keeps all thumbnails 205 in the thumbnail group 203, improved the attractive in appearance of user interface 100 the part thumbnail 205 of expression short time period content.
In some is implemented, determine the sum of frame in the video clipping and the sum of thumbnail.The sum of frame is divided by the sum of thumbnail, makes each thumbnail in the thumbnail group comprise the frame about video clipping of same number.When the number of thumbnail in the thumbnail group was imported change based on for example user, the sum of frame can be divided by the new number of thumbnail.By this way, when the number of thumbnail in the thumbnail group changed, the frame number in the thumbnail group in each thumbnail can keep being equal to each other.In some was implemented, when time period of content in last thumbnail during less than time period of other thumbnail of thumbnail group, the whole dimension that the content of last thumbnail is striden thumbnail in the thumbnail group distributed.In these are implemented, although in the same thumbnail group in last thumbnail and the residue thumbnail time period of content do not match, each point of the physical space that is taken by thumbnail is all corresponding to a frame in the media item.In other was implemented, when time period of content in last thumbnail during less than time period of other thumbnail of thumbnail group, the size of last thumbnail can brachymemma, the time period that reduces with indication.
The user can change the time period that is assigned to thumbnail 205 in user interface 100.Can specify the time period different for the thumbnail in the project pane 110 205 with thumbnail 205 in the media pane 105.In some is implemented, the first interactive scale and the second interactive scale respectively with media pane 105 and the 110 adjacent demonstrations of project pane.Scale functionally is coupled to corresponding pane, makes time that is assigned to thumbnail in the media pane 105 and the time that is assigned to thumbnail in the project pane 110 to change independently by slide respectively first scale and second scale.In some is implemented, corresponding to time period of each thumbnail 205 by system's appointment.In other is implemented, corresponding to time period of each thumbnail 205 by user's appointment.In other is implemented, when video clipping 200 is loaded in the media pane 105 first, for each thumbnail 205 is specified the time period that equals the system default value.The user can change over this value the user defined value within system's specified limit.
Vertical and the lateral dimension of thumbnail 205 is unified, and by system's appointment.The size of media pane 105 and project pane 110 may be not enough to show all thumbnails 205 about one or more thumbnail groups 203 in delegation.In some is implemented, interactive scale and media pane 105 and the 110 adjacent demonstrations of project pane.This scale functionally is coupled to the size of the thumbnail in media pane 105 and the project pane 110.The user can change the position of scale, so that increase or reduce the size of thumbnail 205 in media pane 105 and the project pane 110.By this way, the size that is presented at the thumbnail 205 in media pane 105 and the project pane 110 can change simultaneously.In other was implemented, the size of media pane 105 increased automatically, so that hold all thumbnails 205 by adding line.But, the size of shown media pane 105 remains unchanged.Vertical scroll bar is attached in the media pane 105, makes that the user can vertical scrolling, visits the video clipping 200 that can not see immediately.In other was implemented, the user can utilize indicating equipment or keyboard or both, sweeps (pan) media pane 105.By utilizing interactive scale to adjust the combination of the size of thumbnail size and increase media pane 105, the demonstration size of thumbnail 205 also can change.
Fig. 3 has described the synoptic diagram example that a plurality of video clippings 200 is shown as the user interface 100 of corresponding thumbnail group 203.Each thumbnail group 203 all comprises one or more thumbnails 205.In some was implemented, all video clippings 200 of video library can upload to automatically in the user interface 100 and as multirow thumbnail group 203 and be presented in the media pane 105.In other was implemented, one or more video clippings 200 of video library can upload in the user interface 100 selectively based on user's input, and are presented in the media pane 105.The default size of user interface 100 is by system's appointment.Based on the time period that is assigned to thumbnail 205 and based on duration of video clipping 200, one or more thumbnails 205 that each video clipping 200 is striden in the thumbnail group 203 distribute.In the example shown, in the default view of user interface 100, thumbnail group 1,2,3 and 4 is corresponding to striding 6,1,3 and 1 video clipping 1,2,3 and 4 that thumbnail shows respectively.If the overall width of thumbnail 205 surpasses the width of media pane 105 in the delegation, then add new delegation, and follow-up thumbnail 205 in media pane 105, reel and be presented at below row in.The size of thumbnail can be entered as the ratio change based on the user in media pane 105 and the project pane 110.
The number of thumbnail 205 is based on that time period of being assigned to each thumbnail 205 automatically changes in the thumbnail group 203 of display of video clips 200.When video clipping 200 is striden one or more thumbnails 205 in the thumbnail group 203 when showing, last thumbnail 205 in each thumbnail group 203, be equal to each other corresponding to time period of each thumbnail 205.Time period corresponding to last thumbnail 205 in the thumbnail group 203 is less than or equal to, but not can greater than, corresponding to the time period of other thumbnail 205 in the same thumbnail group 203.In response to user's input, each video clipping 200 can be shown as single thumbnail 205.In these are implemented, be equal to each other corresponding to the size of the thumbnail 205 of video clipping 200.Duration by the represented video clipping 200 of thumbnail 205 does not need to be equal to each other.
When the cursor on the display device was put on the thumbnail 205 in the user interface 100, playback head was presented at the position of cursor on the display device.In some was implemented, playback head was the perpendicular line that highly equals the vertical dimension of thumbnail 205.When cursor was put into position away from thumbnail 205, playback head disappeared.By operation indicating equipment or keyboard or the two, the user can change the position of cursor on display device.When playback head is positioned at position on the thumbnail 205, be presented in the preview pane 115 corresponding to frame in the video by determined moment of position of playback head on the thumbnail.By this way, can preview in preview pane 115 about the frame of striding the video content that one or more thumbnails show in media pane 105 and the project pane 110.
