A method of creating a video preview comprising:
- displaying at least a portion of a video in a graphical user interface (GUI) of a user device, the GUI including an activation object that is associated with a predetermined length of time;
- receiving, an activation of the activation object to generate the video preview while at least the portion of the video is being displayed on the GUI of the user device, the activation initiated by a user selection of the activation object on the GUI of the user device, the user selection of the activation object comprising a single user input;
- and
- identifying, by the user device, a timestamp in the video corresponding to when the activation object was activated by the user device, the timestamp specifying the video preview, wherein the video preview is created from the video based on the timestamp, and wherein a duration of the video preview is the predetermined length of time that is associated with the activation object.
