1. A computer implemented method for converting and displaying a video, comprising:
- segmenting an input video acquired of a scene into shots;
comparing the shots with each other to determine similar shots;
combining the similar shots into corresponding chains, in which each chain includes the similar shots;
generating, for each frame of the input image, a composite image, in which the composite image includes frames from different chains according to a template;
rendering, for each frame of the input video, the composite image according to the chains and the template, and in which selected images include a plurality of regions, there being one region for each one of a selected chain;
rendering concurrently frames from the selected chains into the corresponding regions of the composite images; and
arranging sequentially the composite images in an output video.
