Example apparatus to improve timestamp transition resolution of watermarks are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus is to decode timestamps in respective ones of detected watermarks, estimate a first transition window indicative of a transition between a first time period to a second time period based on a first one of the timestamps and a second one of the timestamps, and when the first transition window does not satisfy a threshold, estimate a second transition window indicative of a transition between the second time period and a third time period based on the second one of the timestamps and a third one of the timestamps. The disclosed example apparatus is also to determine a first mapped transition window based on an intersection of the first transition window and the second transition window, and set the first mapped transition window as a reference time transition window for subsequent time periods.

Systems and methods are provided for synchronizing data. The systems and methods include operations for: storing a synchronization entry for a messaging application feature, the synchronization entry comprising a last update timestamp associated with a first update to content of the messaging application feature received from a first source; receiving a second update to the content of the messaging application feature from the first source; determining that the second update was received within a write window of the last update timestamp; in response to determining that the second update was received within the write window of the last update timestamp, preventing updating the last update timestamp; and sending the first update and the second update to a client device in response to receiving a synchronization request from the client device based on the last update timestamp.

Methods, devices, and systems for segmenting and annotating videos for analysis are disclosed. A user identifies specific moments of the video that provide a teachable moment. A pre-context and a post-context portion of the video surrounding the identified moment are used to create a tile video. One or more tile videos are compiled in a user-defined order to generate a weave video with a specific focus or theme. The generated weave video is shared with one or more users and can be annotated to facilitate teaching and/or discussion.
