Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for generating an event reel based on spectator reaction data, the event reel is temporally synchronized to a music track. A method includes receiving a video file for video content and receiving spectator reaction data related to reactions generated by spectators while viewing the video content. The method includes processing the spectator reaction data to identify video time slices from the video content that correspond to segments of interest of the video content. The method includes processing a music track to identify markers for the music track that correspond to beats of the music track and generating an event reel having a video component defined by a sequence of the video time slices that is temporally synchronized to the markers of the music track.
Claims20
A method for creating an event reel for video content, the method comprising,
- receiving a video file from the video content;
- receiving spectator reaction data defined by reactions generated by spectators while viewing the video content, the spectator reaction data is indicative of segments of interest, wherein the reactions of the spectator reaction data are timestamped;
- processing the spectator reaction data for identifying video time slices from the video content that correspond to the segments of interest of the video content having a threshold reaction intensity;
- processing a music track for creating the event reel, to identify markers for the music track that correspond to beats associated with the music track;
- and
- generating the event reel having a video component assembled for a sequence of the video time slices and an audio component from the music track, the event reel synchronizes at least some of the video time slices to the markers for the music track.
A method, comprising,
- accessing a video file associated with video content;
- accessing spectator reaction data provided by spectators while viewing the video content, the spectator reaction data is used to identify segments of interest, wherein the spectator reaction data is timestamped;
- processing the spectator reaction data for identifying video time slices from the video content that correspond to the segments of interest of the video content having a threshold reaction intensity;
- processing a music track for creating the event reel, to identify markers for the music track that correspond to beats associated with the music track;
- and
- generating the event reel having a video component assembled for a sequence of the video time slices and an audio component from the music track, the event reel synchronizes at least some of the video time slices to the markers for the music track.
