1. A method comprising: in a video data analyzer of a first computing device, configuring an extraction, based on metadata associated with video content, of content features; wherein the content features are selected from the group consisting of visual features of the video content, audio features of the video content, and textual features of the video content, wherein one or more feature extractors corresponding to the content features are selected from the group consisting of a visual feature extractor for content features selected from visual features of the video content, an audio feature extractor for content features selected from audio features of the video content, and a text feature extractor for content features selected from textual features of the video content, and wherein configuring the extraction comprises configuring the one or more selected feature extractors to extract the respective content features in accordance with one or more operating parameters that are used internally by the respective feature extractor, and that are tunable by the video data analyzer to alter an extraction behavior of the feature extractor based on the metadata; creating a single data stream of fused information for rendering in a client computing device communicatively coupled to one or more distributed content servers, wherein the creating comprises: fusing, in a plurality of fusion modules communicatively coupled to the one or more distributed content servers, portions of the content features into composite features that are generated from functions of the multiple features from the content features; identifying, by one or more of the plurality of fusion modules, a plurality of video segments comprising one or more video segments of the video content based on the composite features; and rendering the created single data stream, in a user interface of the client computing device, by rendering representations of the identified video segments.
