A content sharing method applied to a computing device includes: obtaining real-time image information of a target content for a content sharing event, obtaining user information of a plurality of user devices participating the content sharing event, presenting a virtual content sharing scene that includes the image information of the target content and the interaction information, obtaining authorized supplemental content corresponding to a target user type of the target user device, and presenting at least part of the authorized supplemental content in the content sharing scene. The user information of the plurality of user devices includes a plurality of user types of the plurality of user devices and/or interaction information of the plurality of user devices. The authorized supplemental content corresponding to a first user type is different from the authorized supplemental content corresponding to a second user type different from the first user type.

Systems and methods for enabling and rewarding collaborative content creation are described. The method comprises, playing back live video provided by an over-the-top (OTT) provider to a user, receiving, from the user, a command to crop and modify a portion of the video comprising a subject, generating user-generated content based on the command, publishing the user-generated content to a plurality of users, determining whether the user-generated content is republished a threshold number of times during a republication period, and in response to determining that the user-generated content is republished the threshold number of times during the republication period, unlocking access to content from the OTT provider for the user that relates to the subject.

In one example, a method for providing content-aware progress bar includes receiving a command from a user via an input device to present a visual media on a display device, retrieving a progress bar associated with the visual media, wherein the progress bar includes a plurality of sections, and where each section of the plurality of sections corresponds to one scene of a plurality of scenes of the visual media, and wherein the each section visually indicates a type of content contained in the one scene, a location of the one scene in the visual media, and a duration of the one scene, presenting the visual media on the display device, and displaying the progress bar on the display device in a manner that is time-synchronized to the visual media.

An image processing apparatus includes: a first input interface that acquires first image data indicating an original image shot with an imaging device with respect to a subject in a shooting environment; a second input interface that acquires illuminance distribution information indicating a distribution based on illumination light radiated onto the subject from an illumination device in the shooting environment; a user interface that receives a user operation to set virtual illumination; and a controller that generates second image data by retouching the first image data to apply an illumination effect onto the original image with reference to the illuminance distribution information, the illumination effect corresponding to the virtual illumination set by the user operation.

Disclosed are Multipurpose Media Players that enable users to create transcriptions, closed captions, and/or logs of digitized recordings, that enable the presentation of transcripts, closed captions, logs, and digitized recordings in a correlated manner to users, that enable users to compose one or more scenes of a production, and that enable users to compose storyboards for a production. The multipurpose media players can be embodied within Internet browser environments; thereby providing high availability of the multipurpose players across software platforms, networks, and physical locations.

A subtitle information display method includes: when an editing operation of a user for initial subtitle information of video information is detected, determining a video display region and an edited subtitle display region in an application display page; if the subtitle display region is not a subregion in the video display region, determining a first extension length and a first extension direction for each edge length of the video display region based on region information of the video display region and region information of the subtitle display region; extend the video display region within a region range corresponding to the application display page, based on the first extension length and the first extension direction, so that the extended video display region includes the subtitle display region; and displaying edited subtitle information in the subtitle display region.

There is provided a system including a non-transitory memory storing an executable code and a hardware processor executing the executable code to receive a media content including a plurality of frames, divide the media content into a plurality of shots, each of the plurality of shots including a plurality of frames of the media content based on a first similarity between the plurality of frames, determine a plurality of sequential shots of the plurality of shots to be part of a first sub-scene of a plurality of sub-scenes of a scene based on a timeline continuity of the plurality of sequential shots, identify each of the plurality of shots of the media content and each of the plurality of sub-scenes with a corresponding beginning time code and a corresponding ending time code.

Systems and methods for displaying content based on event monitoring are disclosed herein. A computing device plays a delayed portion of a live content stream communicated to the computing device via a communication network. The computing device detects an event in the live content stream and determines a rank of the event. Based on the rank of the event, the computing device determines whether to play the event instead of the delayed portion of the live content stream. In response to determining to play the event, the computing device plays the event instead of the delayed portion of the live content stream.

A video delivery system according to the present disclosure includes: a video streaming apparatus which records and transmits a video data; and a video editing apparatus which receives video data and edits a video based on the video data. The video streaming apparatus includes a streaming processing unit which transmits information which indicates whether a record processing unit has recorded a video file. The video editing apparatus includes range designation means which indicates, to a user, a time range for which the video streaming apparatus has recorded a video file, based on determination by the additional information interpretation means.
