The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (1) accessing a first media data object and a different, second media data object that, when played back, each render temporally sequenced content, (2) comparing first temporally sequenced content represented by the first media data object with second temporally sequenced content represented by the second media data object to identify a set of common temporal subsequences between the first media data object and the second media data object, (3) identifying a set of edits relative to the set of common temporal subsequences that describe a difference between the temporally sequenced content of the first media data object and the temporally sequenced content of the second media data object, and (4) executing a workflow relating to the first media data object and/or the second media data object based on the set of edits. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

In various embodiments, a subtitle application generates a subtitle list for a trailer. In operation, the subtitle application performs matching operation(s) between trailer audio associated with a trailer and source audio associated with an audiovisual program. The subtitle application then maps a subtitle associated with the source audio from a source timeline associated with the source audio to a trailer timeline associated with the trailer audio to generate a mapped subtitle. Subsequently, the subtitle application generates a trailer subtitle list based on the mapped subtitle and at least one additional mapped subtitle. Because the subtitle application generates the trailer subtitle list based on audio comparisons, the subtitle application ensures that the proper subtitles are included in the trailer subtitle list without requiring a subtitler to view the trailer.
