Portable Video Composition Creation Program
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in combining multiple video clips and still photographs into a seamless presentation with transitions, music, titles, and credits, as existing technologies require manual editing on a personal computer and do not allow for real-time recording and previewing of events.
Innovation Solution
A portable device with a camera, processor, and display that enables dynamic recording, editing, and combining of video clips and photographs with transitions, filters, music, titles, and credits in real-time, allowing users to create a composition without exiting the camera mode and saving it as a single file.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If users manually download and edit video clips on a personal computer using video compilation software, then they can create a finalized composition with transitions, music, and effects, but the process consumes significant user time and effort
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the camera application and video composition creation program into a single integrated application. This merging eliminates the need for users to switch between separate camera and editing applications, automatically captures clips during camera operation, and performs real-time composition creation without requiring manual downloading or separate editing sessions, thereby reducing both time and effort while maintaining composition quality
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs automatic composition creation through self-service mechanisms including automatic clip capture during camera operation, automatic synchronization of video and audio clips, automatic application of transitions and effects, and automatic saving of the finalized composition. This eliminates the need for manual intervention in the composition creation process, significantly reducing user time and effort while maintaining ease of use
2Ease of manufacture
If users exit camera mode to edit video clips, then they can create compositions with transitions and effects, but they cannot capture additional spontaneous moments during the editing process
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the camera capture function and video composition editing function into a single application that operates simultaneously. Users can capture additional spontaneous video moments while the composition is being automatically created in the background, and the system automatically incorporates these new clips into the composition without requiring the user to exit camera mode, thereby maintaining both editing capability and adaptability to capture spontaneous moments
Solution Approach 2:
The system maintains continuous camera operation throughout the entire composition creation process. The camera remains active and ready to capture spontaneous moments while the composition is being automatically assembled from previously captured clips. This continuity ensures that no useful action (capturing moments) is interrupted, allowing users to maintain situational awareness and capture additional unexpected moments that may occur during composition creation
3Quantity of substance
If multiple video clips are saved as separate individual files, then they can be stored in camera memory, but they cannot be easily combined into a seamless presentation without additional software
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs the complex task of combining multiple video clips into a seamless presentation without requiring user intervention. The composition creation program automatically selects and synchronizes video clips with audio clips, applies transitions and effects, and saves the finalized composition as a single integrated file. This self-service approach handles the complexity of combining clips internally, presenting users with a simple process that maintains the ability to work with multiple clips while eliminating the complexity of manual combination
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple separate video clips and audio clips into a single integrated composition file. The system automatically synchronizes the video and audio clips, combines them with transitions and effects, and saves the result as one seamless presentation file. This merging process eliminates the need for users to manually combine separate files using additional software, reducing device complexity from the user's perspective while maintaining the ability to incorporate multiple clips

AI summary
The present invention relates to a method of dynamically creating a video composition including the steps: a) recording a first real-world event as a first video clip using a video composition creation program residing on a portable device in response to a first user record input, the portable device comprising a camera lens, a processor, a memory device, and a display device that displays an image of the first real-world event perceived by the camera lens during the recording of the first real-world event; and b) selecting a transition using the video composition creation program in response to a user transition selection input, the video composition creation program automatically combining the first video clip and the selected transition to create the video composition; and c) the video composition creation program saving the video composition on the memory device as a single file in response to a user save input.
