Abstract
A method for sharing digital media may include receiving an indication from a first user for sharing a clip selection from a digital media item (DMI) with a second user. A start point and an end point of the clip selection may be determined. The determination may be based on a number of times the first user has previously consumed the digital media item. An indication of the clip selection may be communicated to the second user. The indication for the sharing may be received in response to a sharing query. The query may be displayed to the first user during a consumption of the DMI by the first user. If the first user has not previously consumed the DMI, then during the consumption, the end point may be set as a current location in the digital media item at a time when the indication for the sharing was received.
