Generating videos of media items associated with a user
A method includes grouping media items associated with a user into segments based on a timestamp associated with each media item and a total number of media items. The method also includes selecting target media from the media items for each of the segments based on media attributes associated with the media item. The method also includes generating a video that includes the target media for each of the segments by generating a first animation that illustrates a first transition from a first item from the target media to a second item from the target media with movement of the first item from an onscreen location to an offscreen location, wherein the first item is adjacent to the second item in the first animation and determining whether the target media includes one or more additional items. The method also includes adding a song to the video.

generate the video that includes the target media for each of the segments by:
illustrating a first transition from a first media item from the target media to a second media item from the target media with movement of the first media item from an onscreen location to an offscreen location;
determining whether the target media includes one or more additional media items; and
responsive to determining that the target media includes one or more additional media items, illustrating a second transition from the second media item to a first additional item and that further illustrates additional transitions between a remainder of the one or more additional media items; and
a music module stored on the memory and executable by the one or more processors to add a song to the video, wherein one or more features of the song are synchronized with the video.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein:
grouping the media items associated with the user into segments is based on a respective timestamp associated with the media items; and
the respective timestamp associated with each media item represents at least one of an upload time associated with uploading the media item, a capture time associated with capture of the media item, a creation time associated with the media item, or a last modification time associated with the media item.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein grouping the media items associated with the user into segments is based on the media items including a face of the user and at least one additional face.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein illustrating the first transition further comprises:
illustrating a zoom-out effect on the first media item, wherein the zoom-out effect is synchronized to the one or more features of the song.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein grouping the media items associated with the user into the segments includes grouping media items associated with an event into two or more segments based on an event number of media items associated with the event as compared to a total number of media items.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein selecting the target media from the media items for each of the segments based on the media attributes associated with the media items includes selecting based on a share tendency associated with each of the media items.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein grouping the media items is based on one or more of the media items being associated with a landmark score that meets a threshold value, wherein the landmark score that meets the threshold value indicates that an important landmark is depicted in the one or more of the media items.
15. A non-transitory computer storage medium encoded with a computer program, the computer program comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers generate a video by performing operations comprising:
grouping media items associated with a user into segments;
selecting target media from the media items for each of the segments based on media attributes associated with the media items, wherein the target media includes two or more of the media items;
