BROADCAST-QUALITY GRAPHICS CREATION AND PLAYOUT

摘要

Methods and systems for creating and playing out animated video scenes. An animated scene is created by first receiving a selection of an asset element to be used in the scene. Next, a first marker position is received, a first marker is displayed at the marker position, and an association between the asset element and the first marker is established. This process is repeated for a second marker displayed at a second marker position. Thereafter, a movement path from the first marker position to the second marker position is established. The movement path includes a sequence of coordinates and associated times. Finally, the instructions that cause the asset element to move along the movement path are generated.

1. A method of creating an animated scene, the method comprising:
receiving selection of at least one asset element to be used in the scene; receiving at least one first marker position; displaying at least one first marker at the at least one first marker position; receiving a first association between the at least one asset element and the at least one first marker; receiving at least one second marker position; displaying at least one second marker at the at least one second marker position; receiving a second association between the at least one asset element and the at least one second marker; and generating a movement path from the at least one first marker position to the at least one second marker position, wherein the movement path is calculated according to locations of the first and second marker positions.
