Abstract
For media clips captured by several media recording devices, a novel method for organizing the captured media clips is presented. The method arranges the media clips into sequences according to content data associated with the media clips. The method further analyzes content data of the media clips in each sequence to identify a best candidate media clip from each sequence. The method performs one or more algorithms to determine whether the candidate media clips are related. The algorithms are also used to determine a time offset between the candidate clips. The method then synchronizes the sequences based on the time offset determined by the algorithms.
