Abstract

In an example implementation, a method is described. The implementation accesses a plurality of media clips including a first video clip and a second video clip, matches a first fingerprint of the first video clip with a second fingerprint of the second video clip. The implementation also matches a first event subject of the first video clip with a second event subject of the second video clip, and determines an overlap of the first video clip with the second video clip based at least in part on the match of the first fingerprint with the second fingerprint and the match of the first event subject with the second event subject. The implementation also merges the first video clip and the second video clip into a group of overlapping video clips based on the overlap, and synthesizes the group into a video presentation.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
accessing, by a processor, a plurality of media clips including a first video clip and a second video clip;
matching a first fingerprint of at least a part of the first video clip with a second fingerprint of at least a part of the second video clip;
matching a first event subject of at least a part of the first video clip with a second event subject of at least a part of the second video clip;
determining an overlap of the first video clip with the second video clip based at least in part on the match of the first fingerprint of at least the part of the first video clip with the second fingerprint of at least the part of the second video clip and the match of the first event subject of at least the part of the first video clip with the second event subject of at least the part of the second video clip;
merging the first video clip and the second video clip into a group of overlapping video clips based on the overlap of the first video clip with the second video clip; and
synthesizing the group of overlapping video clips into a video presentation.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first event subject comprises a first performing artist, and wherein the second event subject comprises a second performing artist.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first video clip is received from a first client device and the second video clip is received from a second client device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first fingerprint is a first acoustic fingerprint of at least part of the first video clip and the second fingerprint is a second acoustic fingerprint of at least part of the second video clip.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first fingerprint is a first video fingerprint of at least part of the first video clip and the second fingerprint is a second video fingerprint of at least part of the second video clip.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
matching a first event name of at least a part of the first video clip with a second event name of at least a part of the second video clip; and wherein
the determining of the overlap of the first video clip and the second video clip is based on the match of the first event name of at least the part of the first video clip with the second event name of at least the part of the second video clip.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the match of the first event subject of at least the part of the first video clip with the second event subject of at least the part of the second video clip comprises a match of the first event subject of at least the part of the first video clip and the second event subject of at least the part of the second video clip with respective event locations.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first fingerprint comprises a first chord progression and the second fingerprint comprises a second chord progression, the method further comprising:
matching the first chord progression with the second chord progression; and wherein
the determining of the overlap of the first video clip and the second video clip is based on the match of the first chord progression with the second chord progression.

9. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon, which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
accessing, by a processor, a plurality of media clips including a first video clip and a second video clip;
matching a first fingerprint of at least a part of the first video clip with a second fingerprint of at least a part of the second video clip;
matching a first event subject of at least a part of the first video clip with a second event subject of at least a part of the second video clip;
determining an overlap of the first video clip with the second video clip based at least in part on the match of the first fingerprint of at least the part of the first video clip with the second fingerprint of at least the part of the second video clip and the match of the first event subject of at least the part of the first video clip with the second event subject of at least the part of the second video clip;
merging the first video clip and the second video clip into a group of overlapping video clips based on the overlap of the first video clip with the second video clip; and
synthesizing the group of overlapping video clips into a video presentation.

10. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the first event subject comprises a first performing artist, and wherein the second event subject comprises a second performing artist.

11. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the first video clip is received from a first client device and the second video clip is received from a second client device.

12. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the first fingerprint is a first acoustic fingerprint of at least part of the first video clip and the second fingerprint is a second acoustic fingerprint of at least part of the second video clip.

13. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the first fingerprint is a first video fingerprint of at least part of the first video clip and the second fingerprint is a second video fingerprint of at least part of the second video clip.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 9 , the operations further comprising:
matching a first event name of at least a part of the first video clip with a second event name of at least a part of the second video clip; and wherein
the determining of the overlap of the first video clip and the second video clip is based on the match of the first event name of at least the part of the first video clip with the second event name of at least the part of the second video clip.

15. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the match of the first event subject of at least the part of the first video clip with the second event subject of at least the part of the second video clip comprises a match of the first event subject of at least the part of the first video clip and the second event subject of at least the part of the second video clip with respective event locations.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the first fingerprint comprises a first chord progression and the second fingerprint comprises a second chord progression, the operations further comprising:
matching the first chord progression with the second chord progression; wherein
the determining of the overlap of the first video clip and the second video clip is based on the match of the first chord progression with the second chord progression.

17. A system comprising:
a processor-implemented media ingestion module configured to access a plurality of media clips including a first video clip and a second video clip;
a media analysis module configured to:
match a first fingerprint of at least a part of the first video clip with a second fingerprint of at least a part of the second video clip;
match a first event subject of at least a part of the first video clip with a second event subject of at least a part of the second video clip; and

determine an overlap of the first video clip with the second video clip based at least in part on the match of the first fingerprint of at least the part of the first video clip with the second fingerprint of at least the part of the second video clip and the match of the
