Methods, systems, and media for adaptive presentation of a video content item based on an area of interest

A system for adaptive presentation of media content, the system comprising:

• a hardware processor that is configured to:
• cause a video content item to be presented within a viewport having first dimensions in connection with a web page, wherein the video content item is associated with area of interest information corresponding to one or more frames of the video content item;
• determine that the first dimensions associated with the viewport have changed in which the viewport is currently associated with second dimensions;
• in response to determining that dimensions associated with the viewport have changed from the first dimensions to the second dimensions, select a version of the video content item from a plurality of different versions of the video content item that is deemed appropriate for presentation in the viewport having the second dimensions, wherein the selected version of the video content item includes an area of interest based on the area of interest information associated with the video content item and wherein the selected version of the video content item has removed portions of at least one frame of the video content item;
• and
• cause the selected version of the video content item to be presented within the viewport having the second dimensions.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for adaptive presentation of media content, the method comprising:

• causing a video content item to be presented within a viewport having first dimensions in connection with a web page, wherein the video content item is associated with area of interest information corresponding to one or more frames of the video content item;
• determining that the first dimensions associated with the viewport have changed in which the viewport is currently associated with second dimensions;
• in response to determining that dimensions associated with the viewport have changed from the first dimensions to the second dimensions, selecting a version of the video content item from a plurality of different versions of the video content item that is deemed appropriate for presentation in the viewport having the second dimensions, wherein the selected version of the video content item includes an area of interest based on the area of interest information associated with the video content item and wherein the selected version of the video content item has removed portions of at least one frame of the video content item;
• and
• causing the selected version of the video content item to be presented within the viewport having the second dimensions.
