Chronological event information for multimedia content

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing unit, cause the processing unit to generate chronological event information, by performing the steps of:

• receiving event data comprising a plurality of events, wherein each event is associated with a different position in a video stream and corresponds to a different operation performed on a software application, wherein the operations corresponding to the plurality of events are visually captured in the video stream;
• in response to determining that a current playhead position in the video stream corresponds to a first position in the video stream associated with a first event of the plurality of events:
• causing a description of a first operation corresponding to the first event to be displayed in an event list as a current event, wherein the description of the first operation is selectable, and wherein a text of the description is visually overlaid on the video stream;
• causing a second event of the plurality of events to be displayed in the event list as a previous event, wherein the second event is associated with a second position in the video stream that is before the first position in the video stream;
• and
• causing a third event of the plurality of events to be displayed in the event list as a next event, wherein the third event is associated with a third position in the video stream that is after the first position in the video stream;
• and
• in response to receiving a selection of the description, causing a plurality of parameter values to be displayed in conjunction with the event list, wherein the plurality of parameter values were previously selected in the software application in conjunction with the first operation being performed on the software application.

A computing device, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a central processing unit coupled to the memory, configured to:
• receive event data comprising a plurality of events, wherein each event is associated with a different position in a video stream and corresponds to a different operation performed on a software application, wherein the operations corresponding to the plurality of events are visually captured in the video stream;
• in response to determining that a current playhead position in the video stream corresponds to a first position in the video stream associated with a first event of the plurality of events:
• cause a description of a first operation corresponding to the first event to be displayed in an event list as a current event, wherein the description of the first operation is selectable, and wherein a text of the description is visually overlaid on the video stream;
• cause a second event of the plurality of events to be displayed in the event list as a previous event, wherein the second event is associated with a second position in the video stream that is before the first position in the video stream;
• and
• cause a third event of the plurality of events to be displayed in the event list as a next event, wherein the third event is associated with a third position in the video stream that is after the first position in the video stream;
• and
• in response to receiving a selection of the description, causing a plurality of parameter values to be displayed in conjunction with the event list, wherein the plurality of parameter values were previously selected in the software application in conjunction with the first operation being performed on the software application.
