Filed:

Nov 28, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/723575

Inventors:

Paul D. Garmon - Winchester MA
Robert A. Gonsalves - Brighton MA

Assignee:

Avid Technology, Inc. - Tewksbury MA

International Classification:

G06K 1500

US Classification:

345723, 345748

Abstract:

Media composer for editing source material. The media composer includes apparatus for receiving digitizing, storing and editing video and audio source material. Computing apparatus manipulates the stored source material and output apparatus communicates with the computing apparatus to display the manipulated material and control information. The computing apparatus includes JPEG compression techniques and is programmed to provide enhanced editing features.

Assignee:

Avid Technology, Inc. - Tewksbury MA

International Classification:

G11B 27/00

US Classification:

715716

Abstract:

Method and apparatus for selecting samples for presentation on an output device, such as a display or speaker, from a sequence of stored media samples, such as audio or video information. Position information is received from a pointing device, such as a mouse, and translated into direction and magnitude information. A second sample is then retrieved based on this position and magnitude information. This method may be used to implement jog or shuttle controls for a media composer, which may be provided with simulated “inertia” for ease of use.

Assignee:

Intuit Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707101000

Abstract:

In general, in one aspect the invention relates to a method and system for managing data. The method and system involves identifying for a first user at least one record of a plurality of records, generating a user interface which displays a data field associated with the at least one record in a grid format, receiving from a second user, subsequent to generating the first user interface, a first desired modification of the data field, receiving from the first user a second desired modification of the data field, triggering a conflict resolution process, wherein the conflict resolution process involves choosing a chosen modification from the first desired modification and the second desired modification, and saving the chosen modification in the data field.

Assignee:

Avid Technology, Inc. - Tewksbury MA

International Classification:

H04N 5262

US Classification:

348593

Abstract:

Method and apparatus for editing transitions between sequences of video frames, generally including simultaneously displaying the frames in the first and second sequences that are at the beginning of the transition, and the frames in the first and second sequences that are at the end of the transition. The position of two of the four frames may be altered in their respective sequence to redefine the transition in response to a move command. Move commands may include center positioning commands, beginning commands, and end commands. The rate of change within the transition may also correspond to a predefined film characteristic.
