Abstract: A method includes defining multiple moderation tasks, which originate from respective textual articles that are to be automatically converted into respective video clips following moderation by human moderators. The moderation tasks are pre-processed, so as to predict success measures of the corresponding video clips. Delivery of the moderation tasks to the human moderators is prioritized based on the predicted success measures.
Abstract: A method for multimedia content generation includes presenting to a user text that will serve as audio narration in a video clip, and a collection of media items to be selectively included in the video clip. Instructions, which associate one or more selected media items with corresponding elements of the text, are received from the user. The video clip is generated automatically, such that the selected media items appear in the video clip in synchronization with the corresponding elements of the text in accordance with the instructions.

Abstract: A method for multimedia content generation includes receiving a textual input, and automatically retrieving from one or more media databases a plurality of media items that are relevant to the textual input. User input, which selects one or more of the automatically-retrieved media items and correlates one or more of the selected media items in time with the textual input, is received. A video clip, which includes an audio narration of the textual input and the selected media items scheduled in accordance with the user input, is constructed automatically.
