Video Stitching

You are given a series of video clips from a sporting event that lasted time seconds. These video clips can be overlapping with each other and have varying lengths.

Each video clip is described by an array clips where clips[i] = [starti, endi] indicates that the ith clip started at starti and ended at endi.

We can cut these clips into segments freely.

  • For example, a clip [0, 7] can be cut into segments [0, 1] + [1, 3] + [3, 7].

Return the minimum number of clips needed so that we can cut the clips into segments that cover the entire sporting event [0, time]. If the task is impossible, return -1.

Example 1
0---2
        4---6
                8---10
  1---------------9
  1-------5
          5-------9
Inputclips = [[0,2],[4,6],[8,10],[1,9],[1,5],[5,9]], time = 10
Output3
We take clips [0,2], [8,10], and [1,9], then cut [1,9] so the segments [0,2] + [2,8] + [8,10] cover [0,10].
Example 2
0-1
  1-2
Inputclips = [[0,1],[1,2]], time = 5
Output-1
We cannot cover [0,5] with only [0,1] and [1,2].

Constraints

  • 1 <= clips.length <= 100
  • 0 <= starti <= endi <= 100
  • 1 <= time <= 100
