Sports Event Video Editing System

Abstract

This invention primarily discloses a sports event video editing system. It captures athlete audio and video data through cameras and recording devices, and combines this data with athlete information provided by RFID tags to automatically generate personalized videos. Furthermore, the system includes an electronic device capable of executing a reference script for video editing and event information annotation, producing video files with intros, outros, and main content, which can be previewed, downloaded, or shared. In addition, it supports various data transmission interfaces and video formats, and through modular design, it enables automatic tracking and shooting, video editing, voice-over embedding, and social media posting, assisting event organizers in quickly generating shareable athlete videos, improving media dissemination efficiency and the interactive viewing experience.
