1. A computer-implemented method for presenting a customized highlight show to a user, the method comprising:
at a processor, obtaining source content comprising a representation of one or more sports events;
at the processor, receiving a first user selection designating a first attribute of the source content, and a viewing length;
at the processor, automatically determining a user's preference for transitions, the user's preference indicating whether a transition should include a spoiler for an upcoming highlight segment;
at the processor, based on the designated first attribute and the viewing length, selecting 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;
at the processor, 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 determining 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 adjusting the length of the highlight segment by the determined offset;
at the processor, based on the user's preference for the transitions, generating 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;
at the processor, generating the customized highlight show comprising the subset and the customized transition; and
at an output device, outputting the customized highlight show.
