Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for applying a playback speed effect to videos, the method comprising: accessing a video associated with a highlight tag indicating a highlight capture time of a highlight moment within the video; accessing a previously stored playback speed template specifying playback speed ratios at template times comprising a template highlight time, a template start time, and a template end time, the playback speed ratios being ratios between playback durations and capture durations; aligning the template highlight time to the highlight capture time; generating a modified video by applying the playback speed ratios dictated by the previously stored playback speed template to corresponding portions of the video subsequent to the alignment of the template highlight time to the highlight capture time of the video, the application of the playback speed ratios to the corresponding portions of the video modifying playback durations of the corresponding portions of the video according to the playback speed ratios; and providing the modified video for subsequent playback.
