Abstract
A system and method for providing orientation information for a frame of a video clip is described. One embodiment comprises capturing an image with an image capture device, generating a frame having at least image data corresponding to the captured image and sequence data indicative of a frame position in the video clip, sensing an orientation of the image capture device at the time the image is captured and incorporating the orientation information corresponding to the sensed orientation into the frame.

11. A method for displaying a frame of a video clip, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving the frame having at least image data and sequence data corresponding to an image captured by an image capture device;
receiving orientation information residing in the frame;
determining an orientation of the frame, the orientation of the frame corresponding to the orientation of the image capture device at the time the image was captured; and
displaying the frame oriented in accordance with the determined orientation. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
