Editing operations facilitated by metadata

摘要

Some embodiments provide a media editing application that uses metadata or metadata tags associated with media content to facilitate editing operations. In some embodiments, the editing operations are performed on the media content at various different stages of the editing process in order to create a composite presentation. In creating the composite presentation, one or more effects are associated with a metadata tag. Once the effects are associated, the media editing application applies the effects to different pieces of media content tagged with the metadata tag in order to create the composite presentation.

主权项

1. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program for applying effects to a composite presentation comprising a plurality of media clips, the program for execution by at least one processing unit, the program comprising sets of instructions for:
associating a set of effects with each tag of a plurality of tags, wherein at least two tags of the plurality of tags are associated with different sets of effects; assigning the plurality of tags to media clips of the plurality of media clips; and in response to a request to output the composite presentation, for each particular tag of the plurality of tags:
identifying a set of media clips of the plurality of media clips to which the particular tag is assigned;identifying the set of effects associated with the particular tag; andapplying the identified set of effects associated with the particular tag to each media clip in the identified set of media clips in order to output the composite presentation, such that a same set of effects is applied to any two media clips that are assigned the same particular tag.
