APP-BASED PLATFORM FOR SYNCHRONIZING USER-GENERATED ANIMATION WITH MUSIC

摘要

Disclosed is a platform enabling users to generate animations synchronized to a musical track in an app-based environment which facilitates collaboration. A method of generating such animations involves first receiving, by a host device executing an app input data from one or more input devices. The app utilizes a layers module to assign the input data to one or more layers. The app assigns input data to layers and allows modification of inputs and timestamps of the input data. The app further allows application of one or more media assets to the inputs. Users of the platform may each execute the app, or execute a companion app that allow communication to the host device. The app may also facilitate compiling the one or more layers into a musical animation file. The musical animation file may store the one or more layers and metadata identifying the musical track.
