Abstract
According to one implementation, a media content annotation system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive a first version of media content and a second version of the media content altered with respect to the first version, and to map each of multiple segments of the first version of the media content to a corresponding one segment of the second version of the media content. The software code further aligns each of the segments of the first version of the media content with its corresponding one segment of the second version of the media content, and utilizes metadata associated with each of at least some of the segments of the first version of the media content to annotate its corresponding one segment of the second version of the media content.
Background
BACKGROUND
Media content, such as movie or television (TV) content for example, is often produced in multiple versions that, while including much of the same core content, may differ in resolution, through the deletion of some original content, or through the addition of advertising or ancillary content. One example of such versioning is a censored version of a movie in which some scenes from the original master version of the movie are removed. Another example of such versioning is a broadcast version of TV programming content in which the content included in the original master version of the TV content is supplemented with advertising content.
Despite the evident advantages of versioning media content to accommodate the tastes and sensibilities of a target audience, or the requirements of advertisers sponsoring distribution of the media content, the consistent annotation of media content across its multiple versions has presented significant challenges. Those challenges arise due to the change in temporal location of a particular segment of the media content from one version to another. In the conventional art, the process of mapping metadata from a master version of media content to other versions of that content is a manual process the may require hours of work by a human editor.SUMMARY
There are provided systems and methods for performing media content metadata mapping, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the f
Claims
1.
