System for automatic video reframing

Abstract:

Systems and methods provide reframing operations in a smart editing system that may generate a focal point within a mask of an object for each frame of a video segment and perform editing effects on the frames of the video segment to quickly provide users with natural video editing effects. A reframing engine may processes video clips using a segmentation and hotspot module to determine a salient region of an object, generate a mask of the object, and track the trajectory of an object in the video clips. The reframing engine may then receive reframing parameters from a crop suggestion module and a user interface. Based on the determined trajectory of an object in a video clip and reframing parameters, the reframing engine may use reframing logic to produce temporally consistent reframing effects relative to an object for the video clip.
