Abstract
Electronic devices are often equipped with a camera for capturing video content and/or a display for displaying video content. However, amateur users often capture video content without regard to composition, framing, or camera movement, resulting in video content that can be jarring or confusing to viewers. There is a need to automate the processing and presentation of video content in an aesthetically pleasing manner. The embodiments described herein provide a method of automatically cropping video content for presentation on a display.

49. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by an electronic device comprising one or more processors, memory, a camera, and one or more sensors separate from the camera, cause the electronic device to:
-
receive video content captured by the camera; receive first information, other than video content and separate from the video content, about a subject in an environment that is captured in the video content, the first information sensed by the one or more sensors; determine a first cropping for the video content based on the first information from the one or more sensors and the video content; and generate first cropped video content for presentation on a display based on the determined first cropping. - View Dependent Claims (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72)
