Abstract

Described herein is a computer implemented method, including accessing production data which defines first and second audio elements and displaying, on a display, a collapsed audio timeline including a first audio timing indicator corresponding to the first audio element and a second audio timing indicator corresponding to the second audio element. The first and second audio timing indicators have first and second indicator starts displayed at horizontal positions that correspond to first and second element start times, first and second indicator ends displayed at horizontal positions that correspond to first and second element end times, and first and second indicator display heights. The first and second audio timing indicators are both displayed on a first rank such that they vertically overlap, the second audio timing indicator is displayed in front of the first audio timing indicator, and the second indicator display height is less than the first indicator display height.

Dependent claims

A computer implemented method comprising:

accessing production data in respect of a video production, the production data defining:
a first audio element having a first element play time within the production, the first element play time extending between a first element start time and a first element end time;
and
a second audio element having a second element play time within the production, the second element play time extending between a second element start time and a second element end time, the second element play time at least partially overlapping with the first element play time;
displaying, on a display, a collapsed audio timeline including a first audio timing indicator corresponding to the first audio element and a second audio timing indicator corresponding to the second audio element, wherein in the collapsed audio timeline:
the first audio timing indicator has a first indicator start displayed at a horizontal position that corresponds to the first element start time, a first indicator end displayed at a horizontal position that corresponds to the first element end time, and a first indicator display height;
the second audio timing indicator has a second indicator start displayed at a horizontal position that corresponds to the second element start time, a second indicator end displayed at a horizontal position that corresponds to the second element end time, and second indicator display height;
the first audio timing indicator and the second audio timing indicator are both displayed on a first rank such that first audio timing indicator and the second audio timing indicator overlap one another;
the second audio timing indicator is displayed in front of the first audio timing indicator;
and
the second indicator display height is less than the first indicator display height.

A computer processing system comprising:

a processing unit;
a display;
and
non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which when executed by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to:
access production data in respect of a video production, the production data defining:
a first audio element having a first element play time within the production, the first element play time extending between a first element start time and a first element end time;
and
a second audio element having a second element play time within the production, the second element play time extending between a second element start time and a second element end time, the second element play time at least partially overlapping with the first element play time;
display, on the display, a collapsed audio timeline including a first audio timing indicator corresponding to the first audio element and a second audio timing indicator corresponding to the second audio element, wherein in the collapsed audio timeline:
the first audio timing indicator has a first indicator start displayed at a horizontal position that corresponds to the first element start time, a first indicator end displayed at a horizontal position that corresponds to the first element end time, and a first indicator display height;
the second audio timing indicator has a second indicator start displayed at a horizontal position that corresponds to the second element start time, a second indicator end displayed at a horizontal position that corresponds to the second element end time, and second indicator display height;
the first audio timing indicator and the second audio timing indicator are both displayed on a first rank such that first audio timing indicator and the second audio timing indicator overlap one another;
the second audio timing indicator is displayed in front of the first audio timing indicator;
and
the second indicator display height is less than the first indicator display height.
