Claim:
1. A method, comprising: determining tag information for a plurality of entities in a video, wherein the tag information comprises an identity of each of the plurality of entities and a video entity reference location for each of the plurality of entities; determining a first synchronization signal for the video using a first statistic and a second statistic, each of the first statistic and the second statistic selected independently from the group consisting of: a mean pixel intensity, a mean color intensity, a mean color tone, a number of pixels of a particular intensity, a number of pixels of a particular color, and a centroid of a highest pixel intensity for a frame; providing a transformed version of the video; determining a second synchronization signal for the transformed version of the video using the second statistic; receiving a request for tag information for at least one of the plurality of entities in the transformed version of the video; comparing the first synchronization signal to the second synchronization signal to determine a transformed video reference point location for the requested tag information; and providing the requested tag information at the transformed video reference point location based on the comparison of the first synchronization signal to the second synchronization signal.
