Abstract
Video content can be analyzed to identify particular sections of the video content. Speech to text or similar techniques can be used to obtain a transcription of the video content. The transcription can be indexed (e.g., timestamped) to the video content. Information describing how users are interacting with or consuming the video content (e.g., social media information, viewing history data, etc.) can be collected and used to identify the particular sections. Once the particular sections have been identified, other services can be provided. For example, custom trailers and summaries of the video content can be generated based on the identified sections. Additionally, the video content can be augmented to include additional information relevant to the particular sections, such as production information, actor information, or other information. The additional information can be added so as not to interfere with the important sections.
