Authoring/Editing
Over 80% of the world’s premium DVD titles are created and authored using Sonic software. Sonic is the inventor of non-timeline editing method called “Storyboards”. The Storyboard interface uses picture thumbnails that represent the video clips laid out in order of appearance without describing their duration. To piece together a video using the storyboard, users drag and drop clips into a line. Between each scene are options for transition effects. Storyboards are the primary method consumer’s use for video editing. The claims of these patents could be applicable to any company creating digital media authoring tools for video creation including CD, VCD, DVD, and next generation formats including HD-DVD and Blu-ray.
