Abstract

An apparatus having at least one processor and at least one memory, the apparatus configured to display a first element associated with content, the memory having computer-readable code stored therein which when executed causes the at least one processor to cause a plurality of second elements to be displayed in response to an input, wherein each second element is associated with a part of the content associated with the first element. The code, when executed may further cause editing of one or more of the second elements in response to an action in relation to one of the plurality of second elements, wherein said action comprises a sliding input.

Claims

1. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor and at least one memory,

the apparatus configured to display a first element associated with media content, the media content comprising at least video content,

the memory comprising computer-readable code stored therein which when executed causes the at least one processor to;

cause a plurality of second elements to be displayed in response to detection of a touch input at the first element displayed by the apparatus, wherein each second element is associated with a different part of the media content associated with the first element, and wherein each second element comprises a different key frame of the media content;

edit one or more of the second elements in response to an action, wherein the action comprises a sliding touch input in relation to one of the plurality of second elements, and wherein the edit comprises increasing or decreasing a number of the one or more second elements based, at least partially, on a length of the sliding touch input; and

create, in response to the edit of the one or more second elements, a new video based on the media content associated with the edited one or more second elements, wherein a length of the new video is based on the increased or decreased number of the one or more second elements.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein causing the plurality of second elements to be displayed comprises causing the second elements to be displayed along a defined path, wherein an order of the second elements on the defined path corresponds to an order of the associated parts of the media content.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the computer-readable code when executed, causes the at least one processor to:

cause a plurality of further second elements to be displayed in response to the sliding touch input in relation to one of the plurality of second elements, wherein each further second element is associated with one of a plurality of subparts of the parts of the media content associated with each second element,

wherein the edit of one or more second elements comprises editing one or more of the further second elements.

4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein causing the plurality of further second elements to be displayed comprises causing the further second elements to be displayed along a defined path, wherein an order of the further second elements on the defined path corresponds to an order of the associated subparts of the media content.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the action comprises moving an icon.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the media content further comprises image content.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the computer-readable code, when executed, causes the at least one processor to enable editing transition effects between different parts of the media content.

8. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the computer-readable code when executed, causes the at least one processor to:

share the media content associated with the edited one or more second elements.

9. A method comprising,

causing a first element associated with media content to be displayed at a display of an apparatus, the media content comprising at least video content,

causing a plurality of second elements to be displayed in response to detecting a touch input at the first element displayed by the apparatus, wherein each second element is associated with a different part of the media content associated with the first element, and wherein each second element comprises a different key frame of the media content;

and

editing one or more of the second elements in response to an action, wherein the action comprises a sliding touch input in relation to one of the plurality of second elements, and wherein the editing comprises increasing or decreasing a number of the one or more second elements based, at least partially, on a length of the sliding touch input; and

creating, in response to the edit of the one or more second elements, a new video based on the media content associated with the edited one or more second elements, wherein a length of the new video is based on the increased or decreased number of the one or more second elements.

10. A method according to claim 9, wherein causing the plurality of second elements to be displayed comprises causing the second elements to be displayed along a defined path, wherein an order of the second elements on the defined path corresponds to an order of the associated parts of the media content.

11. A method according to claim 9, further comprising causing a plurality of further second elements to be displayed in response to the sliding touch input in relation to one of the plurality of second elements, wherein each further second element is associated with one of a plurality of subparts of the parts of the media content associated with each second element, wherein the edit of one or more second elements comprises editing one or more of the further second elements.

12. A method according to claim 11, wherein causing the plurality of further second elements to be displayed comprises causing the further second elements to be displayed along a defined path, wherein an order of the further second elements on the defined path corresponds to an order of the associated subparts of the media content.

13. A method according to claim 11, wherein the media content further comprises image content.

14. A method according to claim 11, further comprising:

enabling editing transition effects between different parts of the media content.

15. A method according to claim 9, further comprising:

enabling sharing of the media content associated with the edited one or more second elements.

16. A smartphone comprising:

at least one processor and at least one memory,

the smartphone configured to display a first element associated with media content on a display of the smartphone, the media content comprising at least video content,

the memory comprising computer-readable code stored therein which when executed causes the at least one processor to;

cause a plurality of second elements to be displayed on the display of the smartphone in response to a touch input received by the smartphone at the first element displayed on the display, each second element associated with a different part of the content associated with the first element and wherein each second element comprises a different key frame of the media content,

edit one or more of the second elements in response to an action, wherein the action comprises a sliding touch input in relation to one of the plurality of second elements, and wherein the edit comprises increasing or decreasing a number of the one or more second elements based, at least partially, on a length of the sliding touch input; and

create, in response to the edit of the one or more second elements, a new video based on the media content associated with the edited one or more second elements, wherein a length of the new video is based on the increased or decreased number of the one or more second elements.

17. The smartphone of claim 16, wherein the computer-readable code when executed causes the at least one processor to:

cause a plurality of further second elements to be displayed in response to the sliding touch input in relation to one of the plurality of second elements, wherein each further second element is associated with one of a plurality of subparts of the parts of the media content associated with each second element,

wherein the edit of one or more second elements comprises editing one or more of the further second elements.

18. The smartphone of claim 17, wherein causation of the plurality of further second elements to be displayed comprises causation of the further second elements to be displayed along a defined path, wherein an order of the further second elements on the defined path corresponds to an order of the associated subparts of the media content.

19. The smartphone of claim 16, wherein the media content further comprises image content.

20. The smartphone of claim 16, wherein the computer-readable code when executed causes the at least one processor to:

enable editing transition effects between different parts of the media content.
