A graphical user interface (GUI) includes a first display region including a first Station Selector object and multiple first sub-regions displayed within the first display region. First user input, entered using the first Station Selector object is received, where the first user input identifies a first media station. In response to receiving the first user input, the first sub-regions are automatically populated with first information associated with first media provided by the first media station. At some later time, second user input is received via the same Station Selector object, where the second user input identifies a second media station, and the first information displayed in the first sub-regions is automatically replaced with second information associated with second media presented via the second media station in response to receiving the second user input identifying the second media station.

A graphical user interface may switch between presentation of a timeline representation of media items and a tile representation of media items. The timeline representation may include graphical representation of the lengths of the media items. The tile representation may include graphical representation of the content of the media items.

This information processing apparatus includes displaying video content on a first display region in a display section as a first video, displaying the above-mentioned video content on a second display region in the above-mentioned display section as a second video delayed from the above-mentioned first video by a predetermined time, and setting a first tag inputted by a user into the above-mentioned first video and a second tag inputted by the above-mentioned user into the above-mentioned second video as tags for the above-mentioned video content.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for setting ad breakpoints in a video. The program and method provide for accessing a video; determining plural shot boundaries for the video, each shot boundary defining a shot corresponding to a contiguous sequence of video frames that is free of cuts or transitions; and for each shot boundary of the plural shot boundaries, performing a set of breakpoint tests on the shot boundary, each breakpoint test configured to return a respective score indicating whether the shot boundary corresponds to a breakpoint for potential insertion of an ad during playback of the video, calculating a combined score for the shot boundary based on combining the each of the respective scores, and setting, in a case where the combined score meets a threshold value, the shot boundary as the breakpoint.

Systems and methods for tagging portions a spherical video segment are provided. The spherical video segment may include visual content. User input indicating a moment in time in the spherical video segment and a viewing angle corresponding to the moment in time may be received. Tag information for the spherical video segment may be generated. The tag information may identify the moment in time and the viewing angle such that a subsequent presentation of the spherical video segment, proximate to the moment in time, includes a notification that the viewing angle is outside a display field of view based on the viewing angle being located outside the display field of view.

Aspects of the invention provided a video processing method, a video playing method, devices thereof, and a storage medium. The video processing method is applied to a terminal device and can include that a video-frame tagging operation is detected during recording of a video. The video-frame tagging operation can tag a video frame in a recorded video at different times during recording of the video. The video frame can be tagged at different times during recording of the video according to the video-frame tagging operation. A final recorded video is generated based on the tagged video frame and an untagged video frame. The video frame is tagged through the detected video-frame tagging operation and the final recorded video is generated, so that a wonderful moment in the video can be rapidly located based on the tag of the video frame during video playback, and user experience may be improved.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method that includes obtaining, by a processing system including a processor, video frames over a network; the processing system uses a machine learning algorithm to identify in each frame a first region comprising a natural image and a second region comprising a synthetic graphic image. The processing system separates the natural image from the synthetic graphic image to generate a natural video and a graphics video, encodes the natural video, and processes the graphics video to generate instructions for rendering graphic images at a client system. The client system performs a decoding procedure for the encoded video, a rendering procedure for client-side graphics in accordance with the instructions, and a compositing procedure to obtain a presentable video stream including the natural image and a client-side graphic corresponding to the synthetic graphic image. Other embodiments are disclosed.
