Abstract:
1. A digital video camera for producing composite motion video frames, comprising: an image sensor for capturing user-captured motion video frames which do not include camera motion; a processor for processing the user-captured motion video frames to produce the composite motion video frames, a memory for storing pre-stored background motion video frames and control information which defines the camera motion of the background video frames, wherein the pre-stored motion video frames and the control information were stored prior to capturing the user-captured motion video frames; and the processor responsive to the user-captured video motion frames, the control information and the pre-stored motion video frames to automatically process the user-captured motion video frames to produce processed user-captured motion video frames having digitally simulated camera motion and to produce the composite motion video frames by combining the processed user-captured motion video frames and the pre-stored motion video frames so that the composite motion video frames include subject content from the user-captured motion video frames and background content from the pre-stored motion video frames.
