Collaborative editing and publishing of video media items
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230317116A1) describes a computer-implemented method for facilitating asynchronous collaboration on video media items. The method involves receiving a video media item with core video content and an enhancement from a first user device. The received video media item is stored on a server in an editable format. It is then shared with a second user device, indicating that the video media item has been shared in an editable format. The second user device can make modifications to the shared video media item, creating a collaborative video media item. This collaborative video media item is stored on the server and eventually published in a non-editable format on a social media platform that supports user-created video media items.
The received video media item may include a time track associated with it. It may also include an enhancement identifier that identifies the enhancement and a time track indicator that indicates the location of the enhancement on the time track. These details are stored on the server along with the video media item, the enhancement identifier, and the time track indicator.
The enhancement in the video media item can be an audio track, a text overlay, a sticker, a drawn image, or an embedding. The communication between the first and second user devices can be a direct message communication.
The collaborative video media item is stored on the server along with an identifier of the first user device and the second user device. Credit for the creation of the collaborative video media item is attributed to the users associated with the first and second user devices.
The patent also describes a system configured for facilitating asynchronous collaboration on video media items. The system includes one or more hardware processors that receive the video media item, store it on a server, share it with a second user device, receive modifications to create a collaborative video media item, and publish it on a social media platform. The system can also attribute credit to the users associated with the first and second user devices.
Additionally, the patent mentions a non-transient computer-readable storage medium with instructions that perform the method for facilitating asynchronous collaboration on video media items. The method includes receiving the video media item, storing it on a server, sharing it with a second user device, receiving modifications, storing the collaborative video media item, publishing it on a social media platform, and attributing credit to the users associated with the first and second user devices.
Overall, this patent describes a method, system, and storage medium for enabling collaboration on video media items, allowing users to make modifications and create collaborative videos that can be published on social media platforms.
