System and method for enhanced video selection

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause:

• receiving, from a network, information associated with a plurality of video assets available from a plurality of video asset sources, wherein the information comprises at least one image associated with each video asset of the plurality of video assets;
• extracting, from the information, metadata associated with each video asset of the plurality of video assets, wherein the metadata indicates at least one metadata category;
• receiving usage data associated with a computing device;
• receiving, from at least one server, demographic data associated with at least one user of the computing device;
• generating, based on the received usage data and the received demographic data, a profile associated with the computing device;
• receiving, from the computing device, a request to search the plurality of video assets for video assets having metadata matching a selected metadata category;
• generating, based on the metadata and the profile associated with the computing device, search results;
• and
• sending, to the computing device, the search results to cause display of the search results, wherein the search results identify at least one clip from at least one video asset, from the plurality of video assets, based on the generated profile, and the display graphically identifies a source indicated by a symbol, wherein the symbol is selected from a list of a plurality of predefined symbols that are graphically distinguished from each other, from the plurality of video asset sources, from which the at least one clip from the at least one video asset is obtained.

A method comprising:
