Abstract
Systems, devices, apparatuses, components, methods, and techniques for automatically generating media previews are provided. An example media system for automatically generating media previews for a particular artist include a trailer generation application configured to receive input specifying an artist and duration of a trailer, automatically select clips from two or more media items by the artist, and automatically arrange and combine the clips into a media trailer for later playback.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method of automatically generating a media trailer comprising:
- automatically generating, with a trailer generation application, a media trailer for an event by:
- determining that the event should be promoted;
- determining one or more artists associated with the event;
- selecting two or more representative media items for the one or more artists;
- selecting a clip of each of the representative media items, wherein the clips are respective portions of the representative media items;
- and
- arranging and equalizing the clips of the representative media items to generate the media trailer, wherein the equalizing comprises performing an audio adjustment process to cause substantial matching of one or more audio characteristics across the respective clips.
A system for automatically generating a media trailer, the system comprising a media server comprising:
- at least one processing device;
- and
- at least one memory device including a trailer generation application and a music streaming service that, when executed by the at least one processing device, cause the media server to:
- determine that a media trailer should be generated for an event based on criteria pre-defined by the media server;
- determine one or more artists associated with the event including to access metadata associated with the event;
- and
- automatically generate the media trailer for the event with the trailer generation application, including to further cause the media server to:
- select two or more representative media items for the one or more artists;
- select a clip of each of the representative media items, wherein the clips are respective portions of the representative media items;
- and
- arrange and equalize the clips of the representative media items to generate the media trailer, wherein to equalize comprises to perform an audio adjustment process to cause substantial matching of one or more audio characteristics across the respective clips.
One or more computer readable media encoding instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to:
- determine one or more artists associated with an event;
- determine that the individual has listened to a media content item by one or more of the artists associated with the event;
- determine that the event should be promoted to the individual based on determining that the individual has listened to a media content item by one or more of the artists associated with the event;
- and
- generate a customized artist trailer after determining that the event should be promoted to the individual, including to:
- select two or more representative media items for the one or more artists;
- select a clip of each of the representative media items, wherein the clips are respective portions of the representative media items;
- and
- arrange and equalize the clips of the representative media items to generate the customized artist trailer, wherein the equalizing comprises performing an audio adjustment process to cause substantial matching of one or more audio characteristics across the respective clips.
