  • Programmatic generation of media content digests
    Patent number: 11089345
    Abstract: According to one implementation, a system for programmatic generation of media content digests includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a media content digest software code. The hardware processor executes the media content digest software code to identify a media content for use in generating a content digest, the media content including a timecode of the media content, to access a metadata describing the media content and indexed to the timecode, and to identify one or more constraints for the content digest. In addition, the hardware processor executes the media content digest software code to programmatically extract content segments from the media content using the metadata indexed to the timecode and based on the one or more constraints, and to generate the content digest based on the media content from the content segments.
