Abstract
Embodiments are directed to a snap point segmentation that defines the locations of selection snap points for a selection of video segments. Candidate snap points are determined from boundaries of feature ranges of the video indicating when instances of detected features are present in the video. In some embodiments, candidate snap point separations are penalized for being separated by less than a minimum duration corresponding to a minimum pixel separation between consecutive snap points on a video timeline. The snap point segmentation is computed by solving a shortest path problem through a graph that models different snap point locations and separations. When a user clicks or taps on the video timeline and drags, a selection snaps to the snap points defined by the snap point segmentation. In some embodiments, the snap points are displayed during a drag operation and disappear when the drag operation is released.
