Systems and methods are provided herein for generating optimized video segments. A derivative video segment (e.g., a scene) can be identified from derivative video content (e.g., a movie trailer). The segment may be used a query to search video content (e.g., the movie) for the segment. Once found, an optimized video segment may be generated from the video content. The optimized video segment may have a different start time and/or end time than those corresponding to the original segment. Once optimized, the video segment may be presented to a user or stored for subsequent content recommendations.

Techniques for generating optimized video segments utilizing a visual search

Methods and apparatus are described for generating compelling preview clips of media presentations. Compelling clips are identified based on weighted combinations of attribute scores determined for indices of a media presentation. One or more of these compelling clips are then provided to a client device for playback.

Identifying compelling scenes at scale by mapping characteristics

Methods and apparatus are described for generating compelling preview clips of media presentations. Compelling clips are identified based on the extent to which human faces are shown and/or the loudness of the audio associated with the clips. One or more of these compelling clips are then provided to a client device for playback.
