Abstract
A video processing environment includes a user interface and processing shell from which various video processing ‘plug-in’ programs are accessed. The shell insulates the plug-ins from the intricacies of reading various file formats. The user interface allows an operator to load a video sequence, define and view one or more video objects on any one or more frames of the video sequence, edit existing video object segmentations, view video objects across a series of video frames, and encode video objects among a video sequence in a desired format. Various encoding parameters can be adjusted allowing the operator to view the video sequence encoded at the various parameter settings. The user interface includes a video window, a time-line window, a zoom window, a set of menus including a menu of plug-in programs, and a set of dialogue boxes, including encoding parameter dialogue boxes.
