Abstract
The present invention provides a system and method for automatically combining image and audio data to create a multimedia presentation. In one embodiment, audio and image data are received by the system. The audio data includes a list of events that correspond to points of interest in an audio file. The audio data may also include an audio file or audio stream. The received images are then matched to the audio file or stream using the time. In one embodiment, the events represent times within the audio file or stream at which there is a certain feature or characteristic in the audio file. The audio events list may be processed to remove, sort or predict or otherwise generate audio events. Images processing may also occur, and may include image analysis to determine image matching to the event list, deleting images, and processing images to incorporate effects. Image effects may include cropping, panning, zooming and other visual effects.
