Highlight video creation

A computerized method for creating a highlight video, the method comprising the steps of:

• charting an event by manually recording information in regard to the event, where the event information is associated with time codes,
• capturing video of the event, where the video is associated with the time codes,
• receiving triggers from a user, the triggers comprising lists of at least one trigger action that might occur during the event but cannot be known in advance of the event,
• uploading the event information, video, and triggers to a server,
• producing entries in an action log from the event information, the entries comprising historical actions that occurred during the event,
• automatically and without human intervention comparing the historical actions in the entries in the action log to the trigger actions in the triggers to determine if any of the historical actions in the entries in the action log match any of the trigger actions in the triggers, and collecting the time codes of those historical actions in the entries that match the trigger actions in the triggers,
• automatically and without human intervention creating video clips from the video of the event, based on the collected time codes, and
• automatically and without human intervention compiling the video clips into the highlight video.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program comprising a set of instructions for causing a computer to create a highlight video by performing the steps of:

• charting an event by manually recording information in regard to the event, where the event information is associated with time codes,
• capturing video of the event, where the video is associated with the time codes,
• receiving triggers from a user, the triggers comprising lists of at least one trigger action that might occur during the event but cannot be known in advance of the event,
