To solve this, the members of the Nokia research center developed a method of input which should allow for complex editing of media which is possible on mobile devices.

Basically, there are many toolbars and palettes when editing. On a computer, we have a huge screen of upwards of 27 inches which can handle everything including colors, sound, video, etc. On a mobile device, the interface isn't so easy because everything will be much smaller including the animation/video we are editting.
As you can see, basically we will rotate between toolbars, palettes, and the picture on the mobile device. For example, the top left image is our video. Top right is the screen where we can add sound. The bottom left screen is where we have an object added to the video and we can drag it around and such and place it on the video. The bottom right is where we can add in frames. So to handle the smaller screen for the interface, we have many different pages we can scroll through to perform many different actions. This is a great solution to do work on a small screen while at the same time retaining all of the features.
Mobile devices are becoming more and more capable these days. This is pretty cool, although I'd be more inclined to work on a full size machine rather than a smartphone or PDA.
ReplyDeleteThrough such advancements as 3G people can now upload videos directly from their phone to Youtube and other media sites. This creates the need to do at least basic video editing directly on the phone. Most notably clipping and splicing.
ReplyDeleteVideo editing on my cell phone? Why not! It might work in a pinch but I would really like to see the kind of video that is so compelling that you absolutely cannot wait to edit it before you get home.
