Abstract

A system includes a computing platform having processing hardware, and a memory storing software code. The software code is executed to receive digital content indexed to a timeline, receive insertion data identifying a timecode of the timeline, and encode the digital content using the insertion data to provide segmented content having a segment boundary at the timecode, and first and second segments adjoining the segment boundary, wherein the first segment precedes, and the second segment succeeds, the segment boundary. The software code also re-processes the first and second segments to apply a fade-out within or to the first segment and a fade-in within or to the second segment, wherein re-processing the first and second segments provides encoded segments having the segment boundary configured as an insertion point for supplemental content.
