Audio-based selection of edit points for video clips

8) A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program code executable by a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• accessing a timestamp-to-text map that maps text corresponding to speech represented in an audio track for a media clip to a plurality of timestamps for the media clip;
• producing, using the timestamp-to-text map, based on an average-length of gaps between words in the speech, an indexed list of high, time-based probability gaps in the speech;
• determining, using the indexed list and a semantic model, a comparative probability of at least one identified gap from the high, time-based probability gaps corresponding to a grammatical pause in the speech represented in the audio track;
• and
• storing, based on the comparative probability, a potential edit point for the media clip that corresponds to the grammatical pause in the speech represented in the audio track of the media clip.

14) A method for producing a potential edit point for a media clip, the method comprising:

• accessing an audio track for a media clip;
• a step for determining, with a timestamp-to-text map and a semantic model, a comparative probability of at least one identified gap in text corresponding to a grammatical pause in speech represented in the audio track;
• and
• identifying, based on the comparative probability, a potential edit point for the media clip that corresponds to the grammatical pause in the speech represented in the audio track of the media clip.
