TECHNIQUES FOR GENERATING OPTIMIZED VIDEO SEGMENTS UTILIZING A VISUAL SEARCH

Systems and methods are provided herein for generating optimized video segments. A derivative video segment (e.g., a scene) can be identified from derivative video content (e.g., a movie trailer). The segment may be used a query to search video content (e.g., the movie) for the segment. Once found, an optimized video segment may be generated from the video content. The optimized video segment may have a different start time and/or end time than those corresponding to the original segment. Once optimized, the video segment may be presented to a user or stored for subsequent content recommendations.
