ACQUIRING, EDITING, GENERATING AND OUTPUTTING VIDEO DATA

Systems and methods are directed to acquiring, generating, manipulating and/or editing video data/frames. The video frames may be light field video frames having virtual aperture parameters that may be adjusted after acquisition or recording of such video frames. In one aspect, a method comprises: selecting a first key frame, wherein the first key frame corresponds to one of a plurality of light field video frames; selecting a second key frame, wherein the second key frame corresponds to one of the plurality of light field video frames which is temporally spaced apart from the first key frame such that a plurality of light field video frames are temporally disposed between the first and the second key frames; determining virtual aperture parameters for the first key frame and the second key frame; and generating video data.
