    Abstract: A method for identifying game events includes providing a spectator channel for a video game, detecting a tag selection in the game while it is being played, and identifying a screen location associated with the tag selection. The method includes examining the screen location to identify game action occurring proximate to the tag selection, and accessing a recording of the game including the game action. The recording includes a plurality of frames associated with state data and metadata, and the method includes examining this data to quantify the recording. The examining assigns a significance value using the state data and metadata. A video clip from the recording associated with the tag selection is stored when the significance value exceeds a predefined threshold. The video clip is viewable (watch mode) and playable (play mode), which uses state data to execute a portion of the game that relates to the clip.
