Systems and methods for providing transcoded portions of a video
First Claim
1. A system that transcodes videos, the system comprising:
- one or more physical computer processors configured by machine-readable instructions to;
obtain a video, the video having a time duration, the video including visual information defined by one or more electronic media files, the video stored within the one or more electronic media files in a first video format;
determine an initial portion of the time duration where the one or more electronic media files defining the visual information of the video are to be transcoded, such determination, including;
determining whether the time duration is greater than a predefined threshold; and
in response to the time duration being greater than the predefined threshold, determining the initial portion to be an initial time duration that is less than the time duration;
generate one or more transcoded media files defining the visual information in the video during the initial portion, the initial portion of the video stored within the one or more transcoded media files in a second video format different from the first video format;
receive a request for the video from a client computing platform, the request including specification regarding compatibility of video format for playback associated with the client computing platform;
in response to receipt of the request, select the one or more transcoded media files for transmission to the client computing platform; and
effectuate transmission of the one or more transcoded media files to the client computing platform for display of the visual information defined by the one or more transcoded media files via the client computing platform.

Abstract
Multiple videos having individual time durations may be obtained, including a first video with a first time duration. The videos may include visual information defined by one or more electronic media files. An initial portion of the first time duration where the one or more electronic media are to be transcoded may be determined, including determining whether the first time duration is greater than a predefined threshold and if the first time duration is greater than the predefined threshold, determining the initial portion to be an initial time duration that is less than the first time duration. One or more transcoded media files may be generated during the initial portion. A request for the first video may be received from a client computing platform. In response to receipt of the request, the one or more transcoded media files may be transmitted to the client computing platform for display.
