Abstract
Individual time stamp data inputs generated by different viewers of a broadcast or other video output are used to identify parts of the video data to be used to generate a sequence of video clips or 'highlights'. The individual time stamps for each event are aggregated to generate a single marker flag () for each event, defined for example as the median () (or some other point) in the distribution () of time stamps.
