Abstract

A method for generating content data for a video file (200) is provided. The video file (200) comprises a video sequence and the content data (201) for characterizing the video sequence. According to the method, at least one face containing image (204, 205, 207, 209, 212) is determined by scanning at least a part of the video sequence for face containing images. Each face containing image contains at least one representation of a face. Based on the determined face containing image a picture containing the face is generated and assigned to the content data (201) of the video file (200).
