Methods and systems for generating a media clip library

A system for automatically generating a media clip library comprising portions of media assets for a user, the system comprising:

• storage circuitry configured to store a profile of a first user;
• and
• control circuitry configured to:
• retrieve the profile of the first user from the storage circuitry, wherein the profile of the first user indicates a content type of interest for the first user;
• receive a media asset, wherein the media asset comprises a sequence of frames;
• identify a portion of the media asset, wherein each frame of the portion is associated with the content type of interest;
• generate for display an initial frame of the portion;
• before generating for display a final frame of the portion, receive a user input to interrupt the display of the portion;
• and
• based on receiving the user input to interrupt the display of the portion:
• interrupt the display of the portion;
• determine whether the first user and a second user are within a threshold distance;
• in response to determining that the first user and the second user are within the threshold distance:
• generate a database entry identifying the portion;
• update a media clip library associated with the first user to include the database entry.
