Abstract
A method is provided, that initiates with providing a video over a network to a plurality of client devices, wherein each client device is configured to render the video and track movements of a pointer during the rendering of the video. Movement data that is indicative of the tracked movements of the pointer is received over the network from each client device. The movement data from the plurality of client devices is processed to determine aggregate pointer movement versus elapsed time of the video. The aggregate pointer movement is analyzed to identify a region of interest of the video. A preview of the video is generated based on the identified region of interest.
