Abstract
Automatic replay or skip ahead functionality can be configured to intelligently navigate to a portion of a video a user desires to view. The context at which a user selects intelligent navigation can be analyzed to determine where to initiate automatic replay or skip ahead. The context for intelligent navigation can be based on scene or shot segmentation data, closed captioning, aggregate video navigation data from a community of users of shared demographic traits and/or interest, and/or other metadata. In the case of automatic replay, playback of a portion of a video can include enhancements for that portion, such as providing closed captioning, display at a decreased frame rate ('slow motion'), zooming in/out on a portion of the frames of a video segment, among other enhancements.
