Abstract: A system and method for coding and decoding of an asset having transparency. The method for coding of an asset includes: receiving the asset; obtaining a frame image for each frame in the asset, the frame image having an integer value for each of a red channel, a green channel, a blue channel, and a transparent channel; generating a first sub-image and a second sub-image from each frame image, the first sub-image including a mask derived from the transparent channel, the second sub-image including a red channel, a green channel, and a blue channel derived from the red channel, the green channel, and the blue channel of the frame image respectively; placing the first sub-image in proximity to the second sub-image; and generating a combined asset including a series of combined frames, each combined frame including the first first sub-image in proximity to the second sub-image.

Abstract: There is provided a system and method for automated overlay insertion to a video. The method includes: associating each overlay with one or more overlay categories; detecting scene categories within each frame and a confidence probability value; adjusting the confidence probability values based on preceding frame groupings; matching overlay categories to comparable adjusted scene categories; generating a selection score for each overlay category that is relative to the probability value for the matched adjusted scene category; randomly selecting an overlay from the one or more overlays, the probability for each overlay based on the respective selection score; and inserting the selected overlay into the video.
