1. A method of mapping a source video stream to a screen of a target device, comprising:
capturing the source video stream using an original capturing device having a particular form factor, screen resolution, and aspect ratio, the original capturing device having a different aspect ratio than the target device;
extracting separate objects from the source video stream;
identifying a subset of the objects that are key presentation items;
scaling the key presentation items that are to be placed in a presentation area of the screen of the target device, wherein a scaling amount applied to at least one of the key presentation items is different from a scaling amount applied to an other one of the key presentation items for a same target device; and
creating a target video stream that is displayed on the target device by arranging the key presentation items that have been scaled based on the aspect ratio of the target device being different from the aspect ratio of the original capturing device.
