Abstract
An automated method is provided for identifying candidate locations in video content for inserting advertisement (ad) breaks. Each candidate location is a different offset time from the beginning of the video content. Different distinct characteristics of the video content are identified at offset times. Certain characteristics are desirable and certain other characteristics are not desirable. Candidate locations are identified which have the most desirable characteristics at particular offset times, but which do not have any of the undesirable characteristics at any of the offset times.
