Event Reel Generator for Video Content

A server system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory disposed in communication with the one or more processors and storing processor-executable instructions to:
• receive a video file of a video content;
• receive spectator reaction data related to reactions generated by spectators while viewing the video content, the spectator reaction data is indicative of segments of interest;
• process the spectator reaction data for identifying video time slices from the video content that correspond to the segments of interest of the video content, each of the video time slices includes a plurality of video frames from the video content;
• process a music track to identify markers for the music track that correspond to beats associated with the music track;
• and
• generate an event reel having a video component defined by a sequence of the video time slices and an audio component defined at least partially by the music track, wherein generating the event reel includes synchronizing the video time slices to the markers for the music track, and wherein the synchronizing causes scene changes between sequential video time slices to correspond in time with at least a portion of the beats associated with the music track.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program executable by a processor-based system, comprising:

• program instructions for receiving a video file for a video content;
• program instructions for receiving spectator reaction data related to reactions generated by spectators while viewing the video content, the spectator reaction data is indicative of segments of interest;
• program instructions for 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, each of the video time slices includes a plurality of video frames from the video content;
• program instructions for processing a music track to identify markers for the music track that correspond to musical signatures associated with the music track;
• and
• program instructions for generating an event reel having a video component defined by a sequence of the video time slices and an audio component defined by the music track, the generating the event reel includes synchronizing the video time slices to the markers for the music track, wherein the synchronizing causes scene changes between sequential video time slices to correspond in time with at least a portion of the musical signatures associated with the music track.
