| Thanks fionn. Unfortunately I've already used "capsule" earlier in the text, which refers to an item that is inserted into the main programme. Whereas here, the whole episode, albeit a very short one, is referred to as a "píldora". |

highlight (video/ad)
Something else that comes to mind -- flash ad. Especially if this is for a website; they might be talking about a short ad designed with a Flash application. I've seen some companies in Latin America call those flash ads "píldoras" or "píldoras informativas".
Some magazines use the "píldora informativa" as a "tip of the day" or "informative fact" feature, as well as some tv shows.
Hope this helps!

Seguramente de cápsula pasaron a píldora dado a que ambos son métodos de dosificar medicamentos...aquí no he oído lo de píldora.
