ABSTRACT
Despite recent advances in authoring systems and tools, creating multimedia presentations remains a labor-intensive process. This paper describes a system for automatically constructing structured multimedia documents from live presentations. The automatically produced documents contain synchronized and edited audio, video, images, and text. Two essential problems, synchronization of captured data and automatic editing, are identified and solved.
