A compensating timer system and method utilizable with video data featuring sections of different playback or recording speeds. The compensating timer system can be utilized with a user interface associated with and displayable thereon. The user interface can include a video display region configured or configurable to display video data, and an animated time indicator. The animated time indicator can be dependent on a modified playing speed of the video data that changes between different first and second speed rates. The first speed rate can be changed to the second speed rate upon receipt of an input associated with an affordance, by modifying at least one frame in the video data. This allows for continuous recording and/or displaying of video at different speed rates without altering operations or settings. The animated time indicator can be an animated affordance, an animated progress bar, an elapsed timer and/or a time remaining clock.

Fast and/or slow motion compensating timer display

A user interface system and method of recording/editing a video while applying special effects in real time. The interface can be associated with an electronic device including a processor in communication with a camera and a memory unit, or can receive previously prepared video. A first speed rate of the video can be changed by modifying a frame in the video data to create a different modified video data at a modified speed rate that. This allows for continuous recording and/or displaying of video at different speed rates without altering operations or settings. The interface can include time guidelines associated with selectable speed rates, to display which speed rate setting is near a touching finger or pointing device. The guidelines can be activated automatically or can change color, shape, intensity or other property based on finger location, and can aid in object positioning in a field-of-view.

Real time video special effects system and method

The present technology is a graphical user interface for a video recording system and method of recording a video while applying special effects in real time prior to and/or while recording. The interface is associated with an electronic device including a processor in communication with a camera and a memory unit. Inputs from the interface are utilized by the processing unit to determine if the native speed rate of the raw video data is to be changed, and if so then modifies at least one frame in the raw video data to create a modified video data at a modified speed rate that is different to the native speed rate. The system then generates an output video feed that is displayed in the graphical user interface. This allows for the continuous recording of video from the camera or video feed at different speed rates without altering camera operations or settings.
