Abstract

Contextual parameters of digital media content may be obtained. The digital media content may be associated with a content capture user and/or an end user. Editing parameters having values defining one or more editing attributes, including one or more selected moments of interest, of an edited version of the digital media content may be received. Individual post-capture user profiles may include expertise attributes associated with individual post-capture users. A set of post-capture users may be identified as potential matches for creating the edited version of the digital media content based upon one or more of values of contextual parameters, editing parameters, one or more expertise attributes of the post-capture user profiles, and/or other information. The set of post-capture users may be presented to the content capture user and/or the end user for selection of one of the post-capture users to create the edited version of the digital media content.

receiving, from the first client computing platform, a selection of a field of view within the spherical video segment.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein receiving the one or more selected moments of interest includes:

obtaining individual images associated with the individual moments of interest from the portion of the digital media content at individual points in time within the time duration, including obtaining a first image from the portion of the digital media content at a first point in time of a first moment of interest.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive a selection of one of the post-capture users from the set of post-capture users to create the edited version of the digital media content.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

obtain, via a second client computing platform associated with the selected post-capture user, a portion of the edited version of the digital media content, the portion of the edited version of the digital media content having an edited time duration;
