Digital camera user interface for video trimming
DCFirst Claim
1. A method comprising:
- during a start frame selection mode, responsive to receipt of a user input changing a position of a start frame marker relative to a timeline via a user interface of a processor-based device, a processor of said processor-based device scrolling to and displaying a currently-selected frame of a digital video comprising an original sequence of frames on a display of said processor-based device and establishing, in a memory of the processor-based device, the currently-selected frame as a start frame, said digital video being stored in said memory of the processor-based device, said memory being accessible to said processor of the processor-based device;
responsive to one or more subsequent user inputs via the user interface, said processor;
facilitating, during an end frame selection mode, user selection of an end frame by permitting a user to scroll to a desired end frame of the sequence of frames by changing a position of an end frame marker relative to the timeline, displaying the end frame, and establishing, in the memory, the user'"'"'s selection of the end frame as a designated end frame;
during each of selection of the start frame and the designated end frame, presenting on the display an indication of whether the processor-based device is in the start frame selection mode or the end frame selection mode; and
storing, in the memory, a trimmed digital video sequence comprising the start frame and the designated end frame along with other frames of the original sequence of frames.

Abstract
A digital video camera comprising: user controls enabling a user to select between at least an up input, a down input, a left input, a right input, and a confirmation input; and a program memory storing instructions to implement a method for trimming a digital video sequence. The method includes: selecting a digital video sequence; initiating a trimming operation; accepting user input to select a start frame and an end frame for a trimmed digital video sequence, wherein the up input and the down input are used to select between a start frame selection mode and an end frame selection mode, and the left input and the right input are used to scroll through the frames of the selected digital video sequence; and trimming the selected video sequence to include the frames between the selected start frame and the selected end frame.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by a processor of a processor-based device having a display and a memory accessible to said processor, to cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
during a start frame selection mode, responsive to receipt of a user input changing a position of a start frame marker relative to a timeline via a user interface of the processor-based device, scrolling to and displaying a currently-selected frame of a digital video comprising an original sequence of frames on said display and establishing, in the memory of the processor-based device, the currently-selected frame as a start frame, said digital video being stored in the memory of the processor-based device; and responsive to one or more subsequent user inputs via the user interface; facilitating, during an end frame selection mode, user selection of an end frame by permitting a user to scroll to a desired end frame of the sequence of frames by changing a position of an end frame marker relative to the timeline, displaying the end frame, and establishing, in the memory, the user'"'"'s selection of the end frame as a designated end frame; during each of selection of the start frame and the designated end frame, presenting on the display an indication of whether the processor-based device is in the start frame selection mode or the end frame selection mode; and storing, in the memory, a trimmed digital video sequence comprising the start frame and the designated end frame along with other frames of the original sequence of frames. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
