Abstract
Described herein is a mechanism for creating a dynamic video highlight from a plurality of video segments. A metadata collection agent collects metadata comprising attributes about a video, segments within the video where one or more events occur, attributes about the creator of the video and so forth. The metadata is collected and used to create highlight video definitions comprising a set of metadata attribute-value pairs. The highlight video definitions can be created in an interactive fashion by presenting a user interface allowing selection of a combination of attribute-value pairs to include/exclude segments from the definition and/or manual selection of custom segments. The highlight video definitions can be stored and/or shared among users. The video highlight definitions are utilized to instantiate one or more video players to play the video segments in an identified order without assembling the video segments into a separate video.
