A movie clip, containing a short story, is composed of several continuous Received in revised form shots, which is much simpler than the whole movie. As a result, clip based analysis 8 October 2014 provides a feasible way for movie analysis and interpretation. In this paper, clip-based Accepted 10 October 2014 Available online 10 November 2014 ranking of highlight level is proposed, where the challenging problem in detecting and recognizing events within clips is not required. Due to the lack of publicly available Keywords: datasets, we firstly construct a database of movie clips, where each clip is associated with Video analysis manually
