Object-based video commenting

A system for object-based commenting in an on-demand video, the system comprising:

• one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices, and instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the instructions comprising:
• instructions to receive a video file selection from a first user for display on a first user device, wherein the video file is an on-demand video file;
• instructions to receive a first user input from the first user on the first user device via a first graphical user interface, the first user input pausing the video file at a scene;
• instructions to receive a second user input from the first user on the first user device via a first graphical user interface, the second user input including an object identification and a user comment associated with the object
• instructions to identify the object in the scene of the video file based on the object identification;
• and
• instructions to display the second input from the first user to one or more second users on one or more second user devices via one or more second graphical user interfaces, the second user input being displayed with the identified object over the scene of the video file.

A computer program product for object-based commenting in an on-demand video, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform a method, comprising:
• receiving a video file selection from a first user for display on a first user device, wherein the video file is an on-demand video file;
• receiving a first user input from the first user on the first user device via a first graphical user interface, the first user input pausing the video file at a scene;
• receiving a second user input from the first user on the first user device via a first graphical user interface, the second user input including an object identification and a user comment associated with the object
• identifying the object in the scene of the video file based on the object identification;
• and
• displaying the second input from the first user to one or more second users on one or more second user devices via one or more second graphical user interfaces, the second user input being displayed with the identified object over the scene of the video file.
