    Abstract: A processing device receives metadata for media content items and displays cells for the media content items in an overview area in an electronic program guide (EPG). The cells include subsets of metadata for the media content items. The processing device receives a selection a media content item and moves a cell, which includes a subset of metadata for the selected media content item, from the overview area to a focus area in the EPG. In response to determining that a scheduled duration for the selected media content item does not satisfy a condition pertaining to a maximum time interval of the focus area, the processing device adjusts a timeline of the focus area based on the scheduled duration of the selected media content, and replaces the subset of metadata in the cell in the focus area with expanded metadata for the selected media content item.

    Abstract: A device receives a base video that includes an area in frames of the base video reserved for being overlaid with metadata. The device determines a first set of videos to be played next for a particular user. A selection of the first set of videos is based on a second set of videos associated with the particular user. The device receives metadata for the first set of videos and populates an executable presentation template for the base video with a set of extracted metadata. The device plays the base video and synchronizes execution of the populated presentation template with the playing of the base video to overlay the reserved area of the frames with the set of metadata to create a custom interstitial transition video that informs the particular user about the videos to be played next.
