A system and method for automated editing of content is disclosed. The system includes a biasable editing engine. A user is provided with content. The user rates the content according to user preferences. The system receives the ratings implements the editor engine, which edits the content and which is biased in its decision making by user ratings.

1. A method for editing content, the method comprising the steps of: providing, by a computer, a user with a contiguous sequence of frames of content;providing a user interface for enabling a user to define a rating of like or dislike for a particular frame, the rating being received when the particular frame is displayed;receiving a user-defined rating describing a first portion of the provided contiguous sequence of frames;associating the user-defined rating with a first particular frame, wherein the first particular frame is included in the first portion of the provided contiguous sequence of frames;analyzing a second portion of frames in the provided contiguous sequence of frames to identify frames having transition events therein;determining a second particular frame within the identified frames having transition events therein to be a most probable frame for associating with the user-defined rating input by the user wherein the second frame is determined based on a reaction time delay in receiving the user defined rating; andassociating the user-defined rating with the second particular frame; andbiasing an editor of the content according to the user-defined rating to guide editing decisions made by the editor. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the user-defined rating associated with the particular frame biases the editor to delete the first particular frame from the provided contiguous sequence of frames. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the user-defined rating associated with the first particular frame biases the editor to prevent the deletion of the first particular frame from the provided contiguous sequence of frames. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the transition events comprise at least one of: gaps in time codes associated with the frames of content;discontinuity in audio content;frame-to-frame change in video content;frame-to-frame change in audio content; andvariation in magnitude. 5. The method of claim 4, further comprising: assigning weight values to the transition events based on relative importance. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the first particular frame is identified from the first portion of the provided contiguous sequence of frame based on reaction time delay in receiving the user ratings from the user. 7. An apparatus for editing content, the apparatus comprising: a memory having an editor engine module stored therein;a processor in communication with the memory, the processor adapted to receive a user rating of like or dislike that is associated with a first frame of content in a contiguous sequence of frames of content and execute the editor engine module in conjunction with the rating such that automated editing decisions made by the editor engine module are biased by the rating, the user rating being received when the first frame of content is displayed; anda user interface in communication with the processor and adapted to receive user ratings for a particular frame, wherein the processor identifies a second frame in which to associate with the user ratings input by the user, wherein the processor identifies the second frame based on reaction time delay in receiving the user ratings from a user. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the apparatus is a computer. 9. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the memory further includes content ratings that associates ratings with frames. 10. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the portion of frames includes a given frame, the editor engine module is biased by the rating, and responsive to the rating means having a predetermined value, the editor engine module is biased to delete the given frame from the portion of frames. 11. A program for editing content, the program being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium, the program comprising: logic configured to provide a user with a contiguous sequence of frames of content;logic configured to receive a rating from a user when a first particular frame is provided, wherein the rating is a user-defined rating describing whether the user likes or dislikes the first particular frame;logic configured to analyze a portion of the provided contiguous sequence of frames to identify frames having transition events therein;logic configured to determine a second particular frame within the identified frames having transition events therein that is the most probable frame for associating with the rating;logic configured to associate the rating with the second particular frame, wherein the second particular frame is different from the first particular frame; and logic configured to bias an editor of the content according to the rating to guide automated editing decisions made by the editor. 12. The program of claim 11, further including: logic configured to provide a user interface for enabling a user to input ratings. 13. The program of claim 11, wherein a first particular frame is associated with the rating, and the rating biases the editor to delete the first particular frame from the provided contiguous sequence of frames. 14. The program of claim 11, wherein a first particular frame is associated with the rating, and the rating biases the editor to prevent the deletion of the first particular frame from the provided contiguous sequence of frames. 15. The program of claim 11, wherein the transition events comprise at least one of: frame-to-frame change in video content;frame-to-frame change in audio content; andgaps in time codes associated with the frames of content. 16. The program of claim 15, wherein logic configured to analyze a portion of the sequence of frames is further configured to assign weight values to the transition events based on relative importance. 17. A method for editing content, the method comprising the steps of: receiving, at a computer, a contiguous sequence of frames of content;receiving a rating entered by a user for a particular frame within the contiguous sequence of frames, wherein the rating is user-defined, the rating indicates whether the user likes or dislikes the particular frame, and the rating is received when the particular frame is displayed;compensating for reaction time delay associated with entering the rating by the user and associating the rating with a different frame based on a reaction time delay; andbiasing an editor of the content according to the rating to guide automated editing decisions made by the editor. 18. The method of claim 17, further including the step of: displaying to the user the contiguous sequence of frames. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein the editor is responsive to the rating having a predetermined value, the editor biased to delete the particular frame. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the editor is responsive to the rating having a second predetermined value, the editor biased to prevent the deletion of the particular frame. 21. A method for editing content, the method comprising the steps of: providing a user, by a computer, with a contiguous sequence of frames of content;providing a user interface for enabling a user to input a user-defined rating of like or dislike for a first portion of the provided contiguous sequence of frames;receiving the user-defined rating when the first portion of the provided contiguous sequence of frames is displayed;associating the user-defined rating with a first particular frame, wherein the first particular frame is included in the first portion of the provided contiguous sequence of frames that is a most probable frame for associating with the rating;biasing an editor of the content according to the user-defined rating to guide editing decisions made by the editor. 22. The method of claim 21, further comprising the steps of: analyzing a second portion of frames in the provided contiguous sequence of frames to identify frames having transition events therein;determining a second particular frame within the identified frames having transition events therein to be a most probable frame for associating with the user-defined rating input by the user; andassociating the user-defined rating with the second particular frame. 23. The method of claim 21, wherein the user-defined rating associated with the first particular frame biases the editor to delete the first particular frame from the provided contiguous sequence of frames. 24. The method of claim 21, wherein the user-defined rating associated with the first particular frame biases the editor to prevent the deletion of the first particular frame from the provided contiguous sequence of frames.
