1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
determining, at a multimedia editing platform, to customize a plurality of multimedia compilations for a plurality of target users, wherein audiovisual preferences associated with each target user is based on historical online user data comprising browsing or purchase history;
receiving, at the multimedia editing platform, a first video segment and a second video segment, wherein the first video segment comprises a first mandatory zone and a first flexible zone and the second video segment comprises a second mandatory zone and a second flexible zone, wherein edits are not permitted in the first mandatory zone or the second mandatory zone;
receiving a plurality of audio files, at the multimedia editing platform, wherein each audio file comprises a musical selection corresponding with the audiovisual preferences of each target user;
corresponds to each target user based on a corresponding mandatory zone and a corresponding flexible zone, wherein edits are not permitted in the corresponding mandatory zone;
automatically editing the first video segment, based on identified temporal locations one of the audio files to produce a plurality of first edited segments, wherein each first edited segment includes the first mandatory zone and a differently edited version of the first flexible zone, wherein the identified temporal locations are identified based on analyzing alternative waveforms filtered from a primary waveform of the one of the audio files wherein the analyzing of the alternative waveforms further comprises identifying song sections in the primary waveform representing the audio files that have a number of musical artifacts that exceeds a predetermined density threshold and generating a hit/no-hit output file that identifies the song sections in the primary waveform that contain the number of musical artifacts that exceeds the predetermined density threshold;
automatically editing the second video segment, based on the one of the audio files, to produce a plurality of second edited segments, wherein each second edited segment includes the second mandatory zone and a differently edited version of the second flexible zone; and
automatically combining each first edited segment with each corresponding second edited segment and the corresponding audio file with a corresponding visual effect that transitions between each first edited segment and each corresponding second edited segment to form the customized multimedia compilation, wherein the visual effect is based on the audiovisual preference.
