Method and system for generation of a variant video production from an edited video production

1. A method for automatically generating a storyboard from an originally edited video, the method comprising:

obtaining the originally edited video comprising a plurality of visual assets being video cuts and/or images and transitions and/or video effects applied to said video cuts and/or images and at least one original audio track;

automatically separating said originally edited video, into said video cuts and/or images and transitions and/or video effects applied to said video cuts and/or images, by applying visual analysis to said originally edited video; and

automatically generating a storyboard by showing at least some of the video cuts and/or images and at least some of said transitions and/or video effects;

wherein the automatically separating of said originally edited video further includes separating the at least one original audio track into audio cuts, wherein—at least one of the video cuts and one of the audio cuts are synchronized and have non-identical durations, and wherein another one of the video cuts and said audio cut are non-synchronized.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the originally edited video is manually edited by a third party.

3. A method for automatically generating a storyboard from an originally edited video, the method comprising:

obtaining the originally edited video comprising a plurality of visual assets being video cuts and/or images and transitions and/or video effects applied to said video cuts and/or images and at least one original audio track;

automatically separating said originally edited video, into said video cuts and/or images and transitions and/or video effects applied to said video cuts and/or images, by applying visual analysis to said originally edited video;

automatically generating a storyboard by showing at least some of the video cuts and/or images and at least some of said transitions and/or video effects;

automatically generating a further video production based on at least some of the video cuts and/or images with at least some of said transitions and/or video effects wherein in the further video production, at least some of said transitions and/or video effects are modified compared with the originally edited video; and separating the at least one original audio track into speech components and music components wherein the automatically generating a further video production further comprises editing the separated speech components differently than the separated music components.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the automatically separating of said originally edited video further includes separating the at least one original audio track into speech components and music components.

5. A method for automatically generating a storyboard from an originally edited video, the method comprising:

obtaining the originally edited video comprising a plurality of visual assets being video cuts and/or images and transitions and/or video effects applied to said video cuts and/or images and at least one original audio track;

automatically separating said originally edited video, into said video cuts and/or images and transitions and/or video effects applied to said video cuts and/or images, by applying visual analysis to said originally edited video;

automatically generating a storyboard by showing at least some of the video cuts and/or images and at least some of said transitions and/or video effects;

automatically generating a further video production based on at least some of the video cuts and/or images with at least some of said transitions and/or video effects wherein in the further video production, at least some of said transitions and/or video effects are modified compared with the originally edited video;

repeating the automatically generating a further video production, to generate a plurality of further video productions; and

selecting a best further video production based on predefined criteria, wherein the selecting of the best further video production is carried out based on success criteria in an online campaign.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the applying visual analysis to said originally edited video separates video effects parameters.

7. A method for automatically generating a storyboard from an originally edited video, the method comprising:

obtaining the originally edited video comprising a plurality of video cuts and/or images, at least one text layer, and at least one original audio track;

automatically separating said originally edited video, into said video cuts and/or images and at least one text layer, by applying visual analysis to said originally edited video; and

automatically generating a storyboard by showing at least some of the video cuts and/or images and at least some of said at least one text layer, wherein the originally edited video further includes at least one text layer and wherein the applying visual analysis to said originally edited video further identifies said text layer, and wherein said automatically generating a further video production comprises replacing the identified text layer with a different text layer.

8. A method for automatically generating a storyboard from an originally edited video, the method comprising:

obtaining the originally edited video comprising a plurality of visual assets being video cuts and/or images and transitions and/or video effects applied to said video cuts and/or images and at least one original audio track;

automatically separating said originally edited video, into said video cuts and/or images and transitions and/or video effects applied to said video cuts and/or images, by applying visual analysis to said originally edited video;

automatically generating a storyboard by showing at least some of the video cuts and/or images and at least some of said transitions and/or video effects;

automatically generating a further video production based on at least some of the video cuts and/or images with at least some of said transitions and/or video effects wherein in the further video production, at least some of said transitions and/or video effects are modified compared with the originally edited video,

wherein the automatically generating a further video production includes (a) minimization of the distance of the video cuts in the further video production from their respective locations in the original video production, and (b) maximization of the number of video cuts synchronized to the music.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the automatically generating a further video production is applied so that the further video product satisfies a desired total duration.

10. A method for automatically generating a storyboard from an originally edited video, the method comprising:

obtaining the originally edited video comprising a plurality of video cuts and/or images, at least one text layer, and at least one original audio track;

automatically separating said originally edited video, into said video cuts and/or images and at least one text layer, by applying visual analysis to said originally edited video; and

automatically generating a storyboard by showing at least some of the video cuts and/or images and at least some of said at least one text layer, wherein the applying visual analysis to said originally edited video includes identifying special shots, comprising at least one of: Text slides, Post-Roll, Pre-Roll.
