Abstract
Systems and methods are presented for viewing video content while dynamically switching between multiple viewing modes that present the video content at different levels of abridgment. While video content is playing in one viewing mode, input may be received to play the video content in another viewing mode. One of the viewing modes may present the video content in a more condensed form than the other viewing mode does, so that when switching from one viewing mode to another viewing mode, a more abridged or less abridged version of the video content may be presented. One of the viewing modes may be a full presentation mode that shows a complete, unabridged version of the video content, while the other of the viewing modes may play a condensed version of the video content.
