Methods, systems, computer readable media, and apparatuses for providing enhanced content are presented. Data including a first program, a first caption stream associated with the first program, and a second caption stream associated with the first program may be received. The second caption stream may be extracted from the data, and a second program may be encoded with the second caption stream. The first program may be transmitted with the first caption stream including first captions and may include first content configured to be played back at a first speed. In response to receiving an instruction to change play back speed, the second program may be transmitted with the second caption stream. The second program may include the first content configured to be played back at a second speed different from the first speed, and the second caption stream may include second captions different from the first captions.

11468914 · 2022-10-11 · ·

Videos may be automatically generated using a set of video clip. Individual moments of interest may be identified within individual video clips of a set of video clips. A moment of interest may correspond to a point in time within a video clip. The point in time may be associated with one or more values of one or more attributes of the video clip. Individual moments of interest may be associated with individual portions of a video. The video may be generated using the set of video clips based on the associations.

Multi-dimensional video navigation system and method using interactive map paths
09851870 · 2017-12-26 · ·

A processor implemented method and system are disclosed. The method includes generating, based on geographical data and associated video data, a geo-located path having an interactive segment representative of the associated video data. The width of the interactive segment may be adjusted based on the geographical data and time data. A timeline, based on the geographical data and the time data, is generated. The geo-located path is displayed with the interactive segment. The timeline is displayed in response to a selection of the interactive segment. A representation of the video data is displayed in response to the selection of the interactive segment. The representation of the video data is associated with the selected interactive segment. The representation of the video data and the timeline are selectable for time-based navigation through the representation of the video data.

MOVIE ADVERTISING PLAYBACK SYSTEMS AND METHODS

An ad in a movie can be a static ad having a position in the movie that cannot be moved, or a dynamic ad having a position in the movie that can be changed. When a viewer wishes to skip a portion of the movie containing the ad, the playback system determines whether the ad is static or dynamic. If the ad is static, only the portion of the movie preceding the static ad can be skipped; the ad is unskippable. This technique is referred to as “bounceback” since the end of the skip bounces back to the start of the static ad. If the ad is dynamic, it is moved to after the end of the skip. This technique is referred to as “slip-ad” since the ad slips to later in the movie. When a movie has multiple ads, some can be static and some can be dynamic.
