Event Reel Generator Using Spectator Reaction Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current processes for creating event reels from long-form video content, such as video game sessions, are laborious and often fail to accurately reflect the segments of interest to viewers, as they are manually edited and not synchronized well with accompanying music tracks, limiting their engagement and sharing.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that uses spectator reaction data to automatically select and synchronize video segments with a music track, leveraging both active and passive feedback to generate a democratized event reel that is temporally and emotionally congruent with the music, enhancing production value and viewer interest.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If manual editing processes are used to create event reels, then editors can selectively choose segments, but the process becomes long and laborious requiring specialized software
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically identifies and selects video segments based on spectator reaction data without requiring manual editor intervention. The automated system serves itself by processing reaction data, identifying key moments, and assembling the event reel independently, eliminating the need for specialized editing software and manual labor
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual editing process with an automated computational system that uses spectator reaction data to identify and assemble video segments. This substitution eliminates the need for human editors and specialized editing software by using algorithmic processing of reaction data to create event reels
2Measurement precision
If manual editing is used to create event reels, then segments can be selected, but they do not accurately reflect segments of interest to viewers
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses spectator reaction data as feedback to automatically identify and select video segments that accurately reflect viewer interest. The reaction data provides real-time feedback on which moments are most engaging, allowing the system to precisely target and assemble the most relevant segments without manual intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces spectator reaction data as an intermediary that mediates between the video content and the event reel creation process. This intermediary provides objective information about viewer interest, replacing the subjective judgment of manual editors and enabling more accurate segment selection
3Manufacturing precision
If manual editing is used, then video segments can be assembled, but they do not mesh well with accompanying music tracks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual music synchronization with an automated system that uses computational analysis to align video segments with music tracks. The system automatically identifies appropriate synchronization points and assembles segments to match the rhythm and structure of the music, eliminating the need for manual timing and adjustment
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically synchronizing video segments with music tracks without requiring manual editor intervention. The automated process analyzes both the video content and music track to independently determine optimal synchronization points, assembling the final event reel with proper temporal alignment

AI summary
Methods and systems are provided for generating an event reel based on spectator reaction data, the event reel is temporally synchronized to a music track. A method includes receiving a video file for video content and receiving spectator reaction data related to reactions generated by spectators while viewing the video content. The method includes processing the spectator reaction data to identify video time slices from the video content that correspond to segments of interest of the video content. The method includes processing a music track to identify markers for the music track that correspond to beats of the music track and generating an event reel having a video component defined by a sequence of the video time slices that is temporally synchronized to the markers of the music track.
