Adobe MAX Conference Dazzles Audience with Video Innovations

Adobe结束了第二天的马克斯会议在洛杉矶, the company provided a series of "sneak peeks" at future technologies hosted by Rainn Wilson, 也就是《百家乐软件app最新版下载》的德怀特·施鲁特. Ranging from coding tools-which Wilson mocked as "move a semicolon and the colon appears"-to audio and video tools, the technologies are designed to whet the appetite of MAX attendees for Adobe's next releases.

众包视频同步

One such technology sneak peek was a unique synchronization of crowd-sourced video. Nicholas Bryan, an Adobe Creative Technology Labs intern, showed the audience how he could use a series of video clips shot at a concert to create a documentary of the whole concert with just the single click of an Analyze button.

The clips were from a Taylor Swift concert in San Jose, 加州, and each video was from a different angle and a variety of cameras, from stage-mounted cameras to handheld cell-phone video clips. All video footage included some view of Taylor Swift's on-stage performance.

如果所有的片段都是按顺序观看的,”布赖恩说。, "it's easy to see that some of the clips overlap each other, 但是数量不同."

There weren't enough clips overlapping to create a multi-camera option for on-demand content playback, but there were enough to fill in large gaps in the concert.

使用命令行界面, Bryan's pre-alpha software tool analyzed each video, looking for salient points in the video that were either unique or matched those in at least one of the other videos. 除了, the tool used the audio waveforms to match audio patterns between as many clips as possible.

The end result was a timeline that used all the clips, with corresponding clips overlapping each other and aligned in a completely audio/video-synchronized timing. While the video quality varied from clip to clip, the end result could easily be a crowd-sourced end-to-end video recording of the entire concert, comprised of tens or hundreds of clips from dozens of concertgoers.

"We see this as a breakthrough to allow news events, 音乐会, and other public events to be documented in a way not easily possible,”布赖恩说。, "and certainly not possible with today's current editing and on-demand video tools."

看心理频道的电视

本Forta, Android的布道主管, 展示了另一个以视频为中心的机会, this time during the morning's keynote presentation.

Forta showed off the power of real-time collaborative viewing of prime time television content, using a companion viewing application geared toward prime-time content on USA Networks, 它有《百家乐软件》和《百家乐软件》之类的节目吗.

还有杰西·瑞德尼斯, 美国网络公司数字副总裁, Forta showed a companion app that goes along with Psych, 叫做心理视觉.

"关于 70 percent of tablet users are surfing the web at the same time as they're watching prime time television, rediss说. "The Psych Vision app brining the water cooler into the palm of the viewer's hand during the time the show is actually airing."

作为节目的一部分, the companion app pushes out videos and still images in real-time during the show, including user-generated content from YouTube and other online video platforms.

在表演的同时, USA Networks displays keywords at the bottom of the television screen that can be used by Psych Vision app users to unlock exclusive content.

在应用里输入关键字"格斯, 例如, reveals a sneak peek of an episode that will air next week. 一旦内容被解锁, there's a trivia section where users can gain points to purchase merchandise in the Pysch online merchandise store.

“我们专注于优秀的内容,雷德尼斯说, "but the use of Flash for development lets us push out the application to a variety of devices."

Forta noted that USA was able to use Flash Professional and Flash Builder to generate applications that could be then compiled for Apple's iOS or Google's Android mobile operating systems, depending on audience members' preferred tablet or handset device. Forta also revealed that the six applications showcased in Kevin Lynch's kickoff keynote (and mentioned in 我们对林奇主题演讲的报道) had been built in Flash, then ported to the Android and iOS operating systems.
