Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a system and method for selecting highlight media clips and posting the highlight media clips to social media platforms. In one implementation, a method includes receiving, during a live event, a selection of a point of interest (POI) in a media stream of the live event, the POI corresponding to a reference time during the live event, inserting into the media stream POI timing metadata indicating the reference time of the POI, and transcoding the media stream into data segments responsive to inserting the media stream POI timing metadata, each data segment corresponding to a presentation time stamp (PTS). The method may include selecting a data segment of the transcoded data segments, the selected data segment corresponding to a PTS mapped to the reference time and generating a media clip containing the selected data segment for presentation over a communications network during the live event.
