Abstract

Systems, devices, media, and methods are described for capturing a series of video clips, together with position, orientation, and motion data collected from an inertial measurement unit during filming. The methods in some examples include calculating camera orientations based on the data collected, computing a stabilized output path based on the camera orientations, and then combining the video segments in accordance with said stabilized output path to produce a video composition that is stable, short, and easy to share. The video clips are filmed in accordance with a set of conditions called a capture profile. In some implementations, the capture profile conditions are reactive, adjusting in real time, during filming, in response to sensor data gathered in real time from a sensor array.
