1. A method, comprising:

  • receiving, at a media server from a user device, a request to create a media content summary, wherein the request includes a user-specified criterion;

    identifying, by the media server, segments of media content based on annotation data, wherein the annotation data includes annotations associated with the segments, wherein a subset of the annotations indicate a content type associated with a corresponding segment of the segments, and wherein a particular segment of the segments is identified based on a number of corresponding annotations and based on a particular content type indicated by the subset of the annotations;

    selecting particular segments of the segments of media content based on a number of annotations associated with each of the segments;

    generating, by the media server, resized segments by changing a size of one or more of the particular segments until a total size of the resized segments satisfies the user-specified criterion;

    generating, by the media server, the media content summary including the resized segments; and

    transmitting the media content summary to the user device from the media server, wherein a total size of the media content summary is less than a total size of the media content.
