Abstract: Methods of summarizing and auditing the content of digital video are disclosed. A method may include detecting scene changes within frames of a digital video by way of a scene change detection process. Thereafter, a thumbnail explosion may be provided of the scene changes within the digital video. In one embodiment, a system user may implement a scene change detection system in an audit mode, wherein the user may view a thumbnail explosion of scene changes and either accept or reject the media depending on whether inappropriate content is found. In another embodiment, a system user may implement a scene change detection system in a summary mode, wherein the user may view a thumbnail explosion in order to obtain a summary of the content of a digital video. In either embodiment, the system user may select a thumbnail from the thumbnail explosion to show an enlarged view of the thumbnail or may view the video beginning at the location of the selected thumbnail.
