Systems and methods for modifying a segment of an uploaded media file

Abstract

Systems and techniques for modifying a subsection of uploaded media are presented. An instruction component receives a media file and a media enhancement instruction that includes enhancement data and media interval data for a first segment of the media file. A processing component modifies the first segment of the media file associated with the media interval data based on the enhancement data to generate an edited first segment of the media file. A finalization component generates an edited version of the media file that includes the edited first segment of the media file and at least a second segment of the media file that is not modified based on the enhancement data.

         2 . A computer-implemented method for modifying a media file, the method comprising:
 receiving, from a user device, a media file and a user-selected media enhancement instruction that includes enhancement data, a content identifier associated with a particular object, and media interval data, wherein the enhancement data indicates a visual effect to be applied to the particular object, and wherein the media interval data indicates a plurality of frames having a first frame indicating a starting frame and a second frame indicating an ending frame;   using one or more recognition techniques to identify the particular object in at least one frame of the plurality of frames; and   generating a modified version of the media file based on the enhancement data by (i) applying the visual effect indicated in the enhancement data to the particular object in at least one frame of the plurality of frames and (ii) inhibiting application of the visual effect indicated in the enhancement data to frames in the media file other than the plurality of frames.   
     
     
         3 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 2 , wherein the enhancement data includes an audio effect to be applied to audio content of the media file. 
     
     
         4 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises storing the modified version of the media file in an association with an identifier of the user device from which the media file and the media enhancement instruction were received. 
     
     
         5 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 2 , wherein the media enhancement instruction indicates a scene included in the media file to which an effect indicated in the enhancement data is to be applied. 
     
     
         6 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 2 , wherein the media enhancement instruction is received via a user interface presented on the user device from which the media file and the media enhancement instruction were received. 
     
     
         7 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 2 , wherein the effect includes inserting content to the first segment of the media file. 
     
     
         8 . A system for modifying a media file, the system comprising:
 a hardware processor that:
 receives, from a user device, a media file and a user-selected media enhancement instruction that includes enhancement data, a content identifier associated with a particular object, and media interval data, wherein the enhancement data indicates a visual effect to be applied to the particular object, and wherein the media interval data indicates a plurality of frames having a first frame indicating a starting frame and a second frame indicating an ending frame; 
 uses one or more recognition techniques to identify the particular object in at least one frame of the plurality of frames; and 
 generates a modified version of the media file based on the enhancement data by (i) applying the visual effect indicated in the enhancement data to the particular object in at least one frame of the plurality of frames and (ii) inhibiting application of the visual effect indicated in the enhancement data to frames in the media file other than the plurality of frames. 
   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the enhancement data includes an audio effect to be applied to audio content of the media file. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the hardware processor also stores the modified version of the media file in an association with an identifier of the user device from which the media file and the media enhancement instruction were received. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the media enhancement instruction indicates a scene included in the media file to which an effect indicated in the enhancement data is to be applied. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the media enhancement instruction is received via a user interface presented on the user device from which the media file and the media enhancement instruction were received. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the effect includes inserting content to the first segment of the media file. 
     
     
         14 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform a method for modifying a media file, the method comprising:
 receiving, from a user device, a media file and a user-selected media enhancement instruction that includes enhancement data, a content identifier associated with a particular object, and media interval data, wherein the enhancement data indicates a visual effect to be applied to the particular object; and wherein the media interval data indicates a plurality of frames having a first frame indicating a starting frame and a second frame indicating an ending frame;   using one or more recognition techniques to identify the particular object in at least one frame of the plurality of frames; and   generating a modified version of the media file based on the enhancement data by (i) applying the visual effect indicated in the enhancement data to the particular object in at least one frame of the plurality of frames and (ii) inhibiting application of the visual effect indicated in the enhancement data to frames in the media file other than the plurality of frames.   
     
     
         15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein the enhancement data includes an audio effect to be applied to audio content of the media file. 
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein the method further comprises storing the modified version of the media file in an association with an identifier of the user device from which the media file and the media enhancement instruction were received. 
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein the media enhancement instruction indicates a scene included in the media file to which an effect indicated in the enhancement data is to be applied. 
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein the media enhancement instruction is received via a user interface presented on the user device from which the media file and the media enhancement instruction were received. 
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein the effect includes inserting content to the first segment of the media file.
