Automatic generation of a game replay video

Abstract

A video clip may be automatically generated from a gameplay recording based on an interest metric. The interest metric may be determined from a variety of sources, such as developer provided signals, platform-based signals, and reception signal. A machine learning technique may be applied to each of the signals individually and/or in aggregate (e.g., the interest metric) to ascertain a weighting scheme, for example, for each individual signal or the interest metric to improve the selection of portions of video from a gameplay recording.

1 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:
 obtaining a recording of a video game while the game is played by a first user;   receiving an indication of an interest metric that comprises a frame indication, the frame indication identifying a temporal location within the recording;   selecting a plurality of portions of the recording based on the interest metric;   generating a first video clip based upon the plurality of portions of the recording; and   providing the first video clip.
