Abstract

A system is configured to generate synchronized audio with an imagized video clip. The system receives electronically at least one video clip that includes a video data and audio data. The system analyzes the video clip and generates a sequence of images respective thereto. The system generates a unique timing metadata for display of each image with respect to other images of the sequence of images. To each predetermined number of sequential images of the sequence, the system generates a corresponding audio file.

sending over the network the video clip and the plurality of audio files to a user device communicatively connected to the network.

2. The computerized method of claim 1, wherein the audio data is embedded within the video clip.

3. The computerized method of claim 1, further comprising:

analyzing the audio data and the sequence of images; and

identifying a starting time pointer of each of the audio data and the sequence of images.

4. The computerized method of claim 1, wherein at least the video clip is received from a publisher server.

5. The computerized method of claim 1, wherein the user device is one of:

a smart phone, a mobile phone, a laptop, a tablet computer, a wearable computing device, a personal computer (PC), and a smart television.

6. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing one or more processing units to:

receive over a communication network a video clip comprising a sequence of images and corresponding audio data;

generate by a processing unit from the audio data a plurality of audio files, each audio file corresponding to a predetermined number of sequential images of the sequence of images, wherein the predetermined number is less than a total number of images of the sequence of images;

associate by the processing unit each of the audio files with timing metadata of a first image of the predetermined number of images of the sequential images of the sequence of images; and

send over the network the video clip and the plurality of audio files to a user device communicatively connected to the network.

7. A computerized method for generating synchronized audio with a video clip, the method comprising:

receiving over a communication network a video clip having video data and audio data embedded therein;

generating by a processing unit a sequence of images from the video data of the video clip;

generating by the processing unit for each image unique timing metadata for display of each image with respect to other images of the sequence of images;

generating by the processing unit from the audio data a plurality of audio files, each audio file corresponding to a predetermined number of sequential images of the sequence of images, wherein the predetermined number is less than a total number of images of the sequence of images;

associating by the processing unit each of the audio files with the timing metadata of a first image of the predetermined number of images of the sequential images of the sequence of images; and

,

sending over the network the video clip and the plurality of audio files to a user device communicatively connected to the network.

8. The computerized method of claim 7, further comprising:

analyzing the audio data and the sequence of images; and

identifying a starting time pointer of each of the audio data and the sequence of images.

9. The computerized method of claim 7, wherein the video clip is received from a publisher server.

10. The computerized method of claim 7, wherein the user device is one of:

a smart phone, a mobile phone, a laptop, a tablet computer, a wearable computing device, a personal computer (PC) and a smart television.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing one or more processing units to:

receive over a communication network a video clip having video data and audio data embedded therein;

generate by a processing unit a sequence of images from the video data of the video clip;

generate by the processing unit for each image unique timing metadata for display of each image with respect to other images of the sequence of images;

generate by the processing unit from the audio data a plurality of audio files, each audio file corresponding to a predetermined number of sequential images of the sequence of images, wherein the predetermined number is less than a total number of images of the sequence of images;

associate by the processing unit each of the audio files with the timing metadata of a first image of the predetermined number of images of the sequential images of the sequence of images; and
