Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video editing methods often result in repetitive edits when using the same music soundtrack, failing to dynamically match the video's characteristics.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for dynamically generating music by selecting music tracks based on video characteristics, including motion intensity and other features, to create personalized soundtracks that align with the video's progression and content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the same music track is used for multiple video edits, then the editing process is simplified and faster, but the video edits become repetitive and less engaging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting speedVSAvoidvideo edit variety
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically selects music tracks based on video characteristics rather than using static pre-selected tracks. The music selection adapts to each video's motion intensity, scene changes, and temporal characteristics, enabling personalized soundtracks that maintain engagement while allowing rapid editing through automated selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes music selection parameters (track selection, tempo, intensity) based on video parameters (motion intensity, scene transitions, duration). This parameter-based adaptation allows the same editing workflow to produce varied, engaging results across different videos without sacrificing editing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If music tracks are selected to match video characteristics dynamically, then video engagement is enhanced, but the complexity of the editing system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemusic-video matchingVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically analyzing video characteristics and selecting appropriate music tracks without requiring manual intervention. The automated analysis of motion intensity, scene changes, and temporal features, combined with automatic track selection, reduces system complexity from the user perspective while maintaining high adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback loops where video characteristics are analyzed, music tracks are selected based on this analysis, and the selected tracks are evaluated for their match with the video. This feedback mechanism enables intelligent adaptation without requiring complex manual configuration, as the system learns and adjusts based on the video-content music-match relationship.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Manufacturing precision

If multiple music tracks are selected and combined based on video characteristics, then the personalized soundtrack quality improves, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesoundtrack qualityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-analyzing video characteristics (motion intensity, scene changes, temporal structure) before music selection. This advance preparation enables rapid music track selection and combination during the editing process, maintaining high soundtrack quality while reducing overall processing time through efficient workflow organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Music tracks may be selected to create an accompaniment for a video that matches the characteristics of the video. Video characteristics may be used to generate personalized soundtracks to provide more impactful/engaging video edits. Video characteristics may be used to create the arrangement of the music to provide accompaniment for the video. Music tracks may be associated with different music elements (e.g., intro, outro, verse, chorus, bridge, drop, break, hook, refrain), and different parts of the video may be assigned to particular music elements based on the characteristics of the video. Music track(s) corresponding to the assigned music elements may be selected for different parts of the video. The music tracks may be automatically selected to generate an accompaniment that matches the video. Effects may be added to the video and/or the selected music tracks to highlight moments (e.g., interesting moments, high action moments) in the video.
