An End of Data Set (BOD) including a High Resolution Tape Directory (HRTD) is written at a position next to a last written user data set on a tape. When appending a new user data set, the new user data set is written starting from a position next to an end longitudinal position (LPOS) of the EOD to generate an overwritten BOD.

An audio editing system includes a controller for processing audio data; an interface establishing communication between the processor and a digital audio workstation (DAW), the DAW having an audio production program executing thereon and at least one audio project stored therein; a scanner controlled by the controller to analyze the project to obtain a list of all tracks corresponding to the project; and an automated bouncing module receiving a job list which includes multiple jobs, each job indicating a selection of the tracks and a cycle range to bounce into at least one set of stem files, at least one mix file, or at least one set of stem files and at least one mix file. The automated bouncing module transmits bounce commands to the audio production program to automatically bounce the respective selection of the tracks for each job consecutively in a single run.

An electronic device with a display, processor(s), and memory displays a video monitoring user interface. The interface includes a video window displaying video feed from a camera located remotely from the device. A subset of the video includes a first motion event associated with an event category and a second motion event not associated with the event category. The device detects a user request for video playback. In response to the request, the device identifies a segment of the video for playback. The segment includes a first portion associated with the first motion event and a second portion associated with the second motion event. The device causes generation of a time-lapse video clip of the segment of the video for playback, including configuring the first portion to play at a different speed from the second portion. The device displays and plays the video clip of the segment.

A metadata editor processes the metadata track of a multimedia composition to synchronize the metadata track with a video track and identify any errors in the metadata track internally or relative to the video track. The metadata editor effectively divides the metadata track into segments, displays breaks on the video and metadata tracks to show the metadata segments relative to the video track, characterizes each segment as being either erroneous (e.g., warranting attention by the user) or consistent (e.g., not warranting attention by the user), and highlights erroneous metadata segments, e.g., by displaying erroneous metadata segments using a different color, pattern, or other visual indicator than consistent metadata segments. The metadata editor provides various mechanisms to allow the user to manipulate the metadata track in order to correct erroneous metadata segments.

The disclosed embodiments include a computing system with a display, processor(s), and memory. The computing system displays a video monitoring user interface. The user interface includes a first region for displaying live and/or recorded video from a video camera of a smart home environment, and a second region for displaying an event timeline. The event timeline includes event indicators corresponding to respective events detected within the smart home environment. The video monitoring user interface includes a live video affordance for displaying live video from the video camera. In response to a user selection of an event indicator, the computing system: (1) requests a video feed of the corresponding detected event; and (2) displays the requested video feed in the first region. In response to a user selection of the live video affordance, the computing system: (1) requests the live video; and (2) displays the live video in the first region.

A video is divided into portions, and the portions are used to control moving lights. A video is displayed where each moving light becomes a superpixel of the eventual displayed video. The superpixels themselves may be formed of pixels.
