Abstract

Implementations are directed to providing a digital media editing environment for editing at least a portion of a digital video using a mobile device, establishing communication between the mobile device and a data source, receiving, from the data source, a first portion of the digital video, the first portion including a first set of frames including less than all frames of the digital video, applying an edit to the first portion of the digital video, while less than all frames of the first digital video are stored on the mobile device, subsequent to applying the at least one edit, receiving, from the data source, a second portion of the digital video, the second portion including a second set of frames, and storing an edited digital video including at least one frame of the first set of frames, at least one frame of the second set of frames, and the edit.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for editing one or more digital videos using a mobile device, the method being executed by one or more processors of the mobile device and comprising:

providing, by the one or more processors, a digital media editing environment for editing at least a portion of a first digital video using the mobile device;

establishing, by the one or more processors, communication between the mobile device and a data source;

receiving, by the one or more processors, and from the data source, a first portion of the first digital video, the first portion comprising a first set of frames including less than all frames of the first digital video;

applying, by the one or more processors, at least one edit to the first portion of the first digital video, while less than all frames of the first digital video are stored on the mobile device;

subsequent to applying the at least one edit, receiving, by the one or more processors, and from the data source, a second portion of the first digital video, the second portion comprising a second set of frames of the first digital video; and

storing, by the one or more processors, an edited digital video on the mobile device, the edited digital video comprising at least one frame of the first set of frames, at least one frame of the second set of frames, and the at least one edit;

wherein the first set of frames consists of every z^th frame of the first digital video, where z is an integer that is greater than or equal to 2.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first portion of the digital video comprises a low-resolution version of the digital video.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the edited digital video comprises less than all frames of the first digital video.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein less than all frames of the first digital video are received by the mobile device.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the second set of frames comprises frames of the first digital video that are absent from the first set of frames.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the edited digital video comprises at least a portion of a second digital video that is received by the mobile device.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the data source comprises a media device.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the data source comprises a server system that stores digital content.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile device comprises one of a tablet computing device, a smartphone, and a media device.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for editing one or more digital videos using a mobile device, the operations comprising:

providing a digital media editing environment for editing at least a portion of a first digital video using the mobile device;

establishing communication between the mobile device and a data source;

receiving, from the data source, a first portion of the first digital video, the first portion comprising a first set of frames including less than all frames of the first digital video;

applying at least one edit to the first portion of the first digital video, while less than all frames of the first digital video are stored on the mobile device;

subsequent to applying the at least one edit, receiving, from the data source, a second portion of the first digital video, the second portion comprising a second set of frames of the first digital video; and

storing an edited digital video on the mobile device, the edited digital video comprising at least one frame of the first set of frames, at least one frame of the second set of frames, and the at least one edit;

wherein the first set of frames consists of every z^th frame of the first digital video, where z is an integer that is greater than or equal to 2.

11. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the first portion of the digital video comprises a low-resolution version of the digital video.

12. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the edited digital video comprises less than all frames of the first digital video.

13. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein less than all frames of the first digital video are received by the mobile device.

14. A system, comprising:

a data source; and

a mobile device having a computer-readable storage device having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the mobile device, cause the mobile device to perform operations for editing one or more digital videos using the mobile device, the operations comprising;

providing a digital media editing environment for editing at least a portion of a first digital video using the mobile device;

establishing communication between the mobile device and a data source;

receiving, from the data source, a first portion of the first digital video, the first portion comprising a first set of frames including less than all frames of the first digital video;

applying at least one edit to the first portion of the first digital video, while less than all frames of the first digital video are stored on the mobile device;

subsequent to applying the at least one edit, receiving, from the data source, a second portion of the first digital video, the second portion comprising a second set of frames of the first digital video; and

storing an edited digital video on the mobile device, the edited digital video comprising at least one frame of the first set of frames, at least one frame of the second set of frames, and the at least one edit;

wherein the first set of frames consists of every z^th frame of the first digital video, where z is an integer that is greater than or equal to 2.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the first portion of the digital video comprises a low-resolution version of the digital video.

16. The system of claim 14, wherein the edited digital video comprises less than all frames of the first digital video.

17. The system of claim 14, wherein less than all frames of the first digital video are received by the mobile device.
