Claim 50:
51. A system for presenting a customized highlight show to a user, the system comprising:
a processor configured to obtain source content comprising a representation of one or more sports events; and
an input device, communicatively coupled to the processor, configured to receive a first user selection designating a first attribute of the source content, and a viewing length; wherein the processor is further configured to:
automatically determine user's preference for transitions, the user's preference indicating whether a transition should include a spoiler for an upcoming highlight segment;
select a subset of the source content such that the subset comprises a plurality of highlight segments depicting portions of the source content, each highlight segment having a length;
for each highlight segment of the plurality of highlight segments:
detecting an excitement level associated with the highlight segment;
based on the designated first attribute and the detected excitement level, automatically determine an offset by which to adjust the length of the highlight segment, so that the offset reflects an increase in the excitement level, and so that a total length of the plurality of highlight segments after the offset comports with the viewing length; and
automatically adjust the length of the highlight segment by the determined offset;

based on the user's preference for the transitions, generate a customized transition between a first highlight segment and a second highlight segment of the plurality of highlight segments, the second highlight segment occurring after the first highlight segment, the customized transition comprising supplemental information associated with at least one of the first highlight segment or the second highlight segment, the supplemental information either having a spoiler for the second highlight segment or not having the spoiler based on the user's preference;
generate the customized highlight show comprising the subset and the customized transition; and
wherein the system further comprises an output device, communicatively coupled to the processor, configured to output the customized highlight show.
