In-stream video stitching

摘要

Systems and methods are provided herein relating to video editing and more particularly to stitching an insert video within a target video without transcoding. Through dynamically stitching a video, such as an advertisement, within a video, a content provider can transmit a stitched video instead of separate content videos and advertisement videos that a local uncontrolled video player would be responsible for combining and playing. Systems and methods herein provide for receiving a target video and an insert video and dynamically stitching the insert video within the target video to create a stitched video. The stitched video can then be transmitted that plays both the target video and the insert video within the target video, irrespective of the player on which a user views the stitched video.
