their entirety, unless a temporal alteration is required to ensure an accurate

Both videos demonstrate (1) the potential of using generative composition methods
for online music video creation, (2) the resulting editing aesthetics, as well as (3)
some of the challenges of this process. With the use of randomness as a driving factor
for sequence creation, the resulting music videos may not always be coherent to the
audience and accurate enough to the editor's intentions. An appropriate management
of this problem requires correct and well-balanced definitions of the probabilistic and
narrative structures and constitutes a central aspect of this research.

Discussion and Future Outlook
Further research will focus on refining the quality of the applied editing algorithms in
greater detail and extending the repertoire of specific methods by taking into account
the requirements introduced by different progressive and narrative structures.
Furthermore, it must deal with the creation of adequate interfaces to involve the
editors in the generative composition process. Compared to traditional methods of
manual video editing, the creation and editing of music videos by using generative
composition methods is a rather abstract creative process because it requires a
stronger conceptual involvement in order to properly communicate to the composition
software how to edit a specific sequence, rather than manually executing this task
oneself. Ongoing research as part of this project will reveal the effectiveness of the
editing algorithms in terms of viewer engagement, and its practicality for editors.
