Example-based video remixing for home videos

Video remixes are generally created by sequentially arranging selected video clips and combining them with other media streams such as audio clips. In this paper, an example-based approach is adopted for semi-automatically creating video remixes of good expressive quality from home videos. Given multiple home video clips and audio clips, the proposed system generates a video remix by four processes: I)video clip sequence generation, II)audio clip selection, III)audio boundary extraction, and IV)video segment extraction based on professionally created video remix examples. A user interface which presents video clips according to their suitability to the examples and their perceived quality is developed so that users can efficiently and effectively select and arrange suit able video clips in video clip sequence generation. By using movie trailers of action genre as video remix examples, a 43-second video remix was created from 45-minute home videos and was subjectively evaluated better than the one created considering only the perceived quality of video clips.
