Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine a video being posted through a social networking system; one or more portions of the video to be compressed are determined; and the one or more portions of the video are compressed, wherein, upon being compressed, at least one frame corresponding to at least one of the portions is deleted.

Claims (51)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

determining, by a computing system, a video being posted through a social networking system;

determining, by the computing system, one or more portions of the video to be compressed; and

compressing, by the computing system, the one or more portions of the video, wherein, upon being compressed, a playback speed corresponding to at least one of the portions is increased by some rate.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the playback speed is increased based on a pre-defined multiplier.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein, upon being compressed, a respective playback length corresponding to the at least one of the portions is reduced in response to increasing the playback speed.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:

determining, by the computing system, at least one remaining portion of the video that was not determined to be compressed; and

maintaining, by the computing system, a playback speed corresponding to the at least one remaining portion of the video.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:

determining, by the computing system, at least one remaining portion of the video that was not determined to be compressed; and

causing, by the computing system, a playback speed corresponding to the at least one remaining portion of the video to decrease by some rate.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein a respective playback length corresponding to the at least one remaining portion is increased in response to decreasing the playback speed.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein determining the one or more portions of the video to be compressed further comprises:

determining, by the computing system, one or more portions of the video that contain audio determined to be human speech; and

designating, by the computing system, one or more remaining portions of the video for compression.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein determining the one or more portions of the video to be compressed further comprises:

determining, by the computing system, one or more portions of the video that contain subject matter representing one or more pre-defined objects; and

designating, by the computing system, one or more remaining portions of the video for compression.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein determining the one or more portions of the video to be compressed further comprises:

determining, by the computing system, at least one portion of the video in which at least one virtual sticker was inserted; and

designating, by the computing system, the portion of the video for compression.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein determining the one or more portions of the video to be compressed further comprises:

determining, by the computing system, at least one portion of the video during which a threshold angular movement was detected; and

designating, by the computing system, the portion of the video for compression.

11. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:

determining a video being posted through a social networking system;

determining one or more portions of the video to be compressed; and

compressing the one or more portions of the video, wherein, upon being compressed, a playback speed corresponding to at least one of the portions is increased by some rate.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the playback speed is increased based on a pre-defined multiplier.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein, upon being compressed, a respective playback length corresponding to the at least one of the portions is reduced in response to increasing the playback speed.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to perform:

determining at least one remaining portion of the video that was not determined to be compressed; and

maintaining a playback speed corresponding to the at least one remaining portion of the video.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to perform:

determining at least one remaining portion of the video that was not determined to be compressed; and

causing a playback speed corresponding to the at least one remaining portion of the video to decrease by some rate.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

determining a video being posted through a social networking system;

determining one or more portions of the video to be compressed; and

compressing the one or more portions of the video, wherein, upon being compressed, a playback speed corresponding to at least one of the portions is increased by some rate.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the playback speed is increased based on a pre-defined multiplier.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein, upon being compressed, a respective playback length corresponding to the at least one of the portions is reduced in response to increasing the playback speed.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions further cause the computing system to perform:

determining at least one remaining portion of the video that was not determined to be compressed; and

maintaining a playback speed corresponding to the at least one remaining portion of the video.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions further cause the computing system to perform:

determining at least one remaining portion of the video that was not determined to be compressed; and

causing a playback speed corresponding to the at least one remaining portion of the video to decrease by some rate.
