Abstract:
1. A method for editing content, the method comprising the steps of: providing, by a computer, a user with a contiguous sequence of frames of content; providing a user interface for enabling a user to define a rating of like or dislike for a particular frame, the rating being received when the particular frame is displayed; receiving a user-defined rating describing a first portion of the provided contiguous sequence of frames; associating the user-defined rating with a first particular frame, wherein the first particular frame is included in the first portion of the provided contiguous sequence of frames; analyzing a second portion of frames in the provided contiguous sequence of frames to identify frames having transition events therein; determining a second particular frame within the identified frames having transition events therein to be a most probable frame for associating with the user-defined rating input by the user wherein the second frame is determined based on a reaction time delay in receiving the user defined rating; and associating the user-defined rating with the second particular frame; and biasing an editor of the content according to the user-defined rating to guide editing decisions made by the editor.
