Abstract

A method and a non-transitory computer readable medium that stores instructions for: receiving a group of media entities; receiving a scribble; applying media editing commands on the group of the media entities to provide a media stream, wherein the media editing commands comprise at least one scribble-selected media editing command that is selected in response to the scribble.

Claims

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores instructions for:

presenting a group of media entities to a user;

receiving a scribble from the user;

applying media editing commands to the group of the media entities to provide a media stream, wherein the media editing commands comprise at least one media editing command that is selected in response to the scribble;

extracting characteristics of the scribble;

selecting a selected set of scribble-selected media editing commands in response to a first characteristic of the scribble; and

selecting out of the selected set a selected scribble-selected media editing command to be applied on the group of media entities in response to a second characteristic of the scribble.

2. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the second characteristic is responsive to a content of at least one media entity of the group of media entities.

3. A method comprising:

presenting a group of media entities to a user;

receiving a scribble from the user;

applying media editing commands to the group of the media entities to provide a media stream, wherein the media editing commands comprise at least one media editing command that is selected in response to the scribble;

extracting characteristics of the scribble;

selecting a selected set of scribble-selected media editing commands in response to a first characteristic of the scribble; and

selecting out of the selected set a selected scribble-selected media editing command to be applied on the group of media entities in response to a second characteristic of the scribble.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the second characteristic is responsive to a content of at least one media entity of the group of media entities.

5. A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores instructions for:

presenting a group of media entities to a user;

receiving a scribble from the user; and

applying media editing commands to the group of the media entities to provide a media stream, wherein the media editing commands comprise at least one media editing command that is selected in response to the scribble,

wherein the editing command applied to the media entities is further determined based on data retrieved from at least some of the media entities, and

wherein the media editing command is a non-rectangular cropping command and wherein the shape of the cropping is derived based on said data retrieved from the media entities.

6. A method for scribble base editing, the method comprising:

presenting a group of media entities to a user;

receiving a scribble from the user; and

applying media editing commands to the group of the media entities to provide a media stream, wherein the media editing commands comprise at least one media editing command that is selected in response to the scribble,

wherein the editing command applied to the media entities is further determined based on data retrieved from at least some of the media entities, and

wherein the media editing command is a non-rectangular cropping command and wherein the shape of the cropping is derived based on said data retrieved from the media entities.
