Abstract
A visual recording can be automatically edited in a manner that creates a summary of the visual recording in which only content that is of unacceptably low quality and/or very little or no interest is eliminated, thereby enabling the original unsummarized visual recording to be discarded if desired. Additionally, a summary of a visual recording can be automatically produced in accordance with a format template that imposes a certain overall style to the visual recording summary. Further, a viewer of a visual recording can be enabled to provide input which can affect the visual recording content included in an automatically generated summary of the visual recording.
