That would probably constitute "highly complicated".

Also, since simple adding or removing any of the a few seconds to the video would create a different hash, I don't see how the new system will be affective. A user could change the video contract or color or add background sound etc and the hash would no longer match the hash generated by the contents owned original video. I guess that's where the "highly complicated technology platform" comes in. They have to be able to tell if the original video has been modified.
