1. A method for generating a summary of a portion of a media asset, the method comprising:
determining a plurality of media asset summary segments within the portion of the media asset;
determining an importance value of the summary segments, wherein a higher importance value corresponds to a more important segment and a lower importance value corresponds to a less important segment;
determining the length of the portion of the media asset;
based on determining that the length of the portion of the media asset is greater than a threshold length, including higher importance value summary segments in the summary of the portion of the media asset; and
based on determining that the length of the portion of the media asset is less than the threshold length, including higher and lower importance value summary segments in the summary of the portion of the media asset,
wherein:
the summary segments with higher importance values are prioritized for inclusion over the summary segments with lower importance values, and
when the length of the portion of the media asset is greater than the threshold length, the summary of the portion of the media asset is shorter than the summary of the portion of the media asset when the length of the portion of the media asset is less than the threshold length.
