Abstract
A method includes receiving, at a media server, a request to create a media content summary. The request includes a user-specified criterion. The method includes identifying segments of media content based on annotation data. The annotation data includes annotations associated with a first segment of the segments and a second segment of the segments. The first segment is identified based on a number of corresponding annotations. The method further includes generating the media content summary by automatically changing a first size of the first segment and a second size of the second segment such that a total size of the media content summary satisfies the user-specified criterion.
