A content summarizing program processes audio and/or visual content of a media item to determine a plurality of segments of the content; and determines a respective ranking for each of the plurality of segments. The respective ranking indicates how representative of the content as a whole the segment is. Based on the plurality of respective rankings and summary time criteria, the content summarizing program selects summary segments from the plurality of segments; and, based on the summary segments, generates a segment transition. The segment transition corresponds to a pair of adjacent summary segments and comprises characteristics of both first and second summary segments of the pair of adjacent summary segments. The content summarizing program stitches together the summary segments using the segment transition to generate a content summary. The summary segments are stitched together with the segment transition disposed between the first summary segment and the second summary segment.
