• identify one or more objects within a video scene;
• determine an importance value for one or more of the identified objects based on one or more importance factors;
• generate a video crop that will include a maximum number of identified objects that are determined to be valuable according to the established importance value;
• and
• apply the generated video crop to the video scene.
