Abstract

See full text

The described embodiments include systems and methods for producing and adapting images, such as video images, for presentation on display devices that have various different aspects ratios, such as 4:3, 16:9, 9:16, etc. In one embodiment, a method for producing content, such as video images, can begin by selecting an original aspect ratio and determining, within at least a first scene in the content, a position of a subject in the first scene. In one embodiment, the original aspect ratio can be substantially square (e.g., 1:1). Metadata can then be created, based on the position of the subject in the first scene, to guide playback devices to asymmetrically crop the content, relative to the position, for display on display devices that have aspect ratios that are different than the original aspect ratio. Other methods and systems are also described.
