Disclosed are methods for automatically generating commands to transform a video sequence based on information regarding speaking participants derived from the audio and video signals. The audio stream is analyzed to detect individual speakers and the video is optionally analyzed to detect lip movement to determine a probability that a detected participant is speaking. Commands are then generated to transform the video stream consistent with the identified speaker.
