Abstract
Intelligent reframing techniques are described in which content (e.g., a movie) can be generated in a different aspect ratio than previously provided. These techniques include obtaining various video frames having a first aspect ratio. Various objects can be identified within the frames. An object having the highest degree of importance in a frame can be selected and a focal point can be calculated based at least in part on that object. A modified version of the content can be generated in a second aspect ratio that is different from the first aspect ratio. The modified version can be generated using the focal point calculated based on the object having the greatest degree of importance. Using these techniques, the content can be provided in a different aspect ratio while ensuring that the most important features of the frame still appear in the new version of the content.
