In various embodiments, a video editing application receives, from an encoding application, a list of random access points of an encoded media content item. When an operator specifies a point of interest for the media content item, the video editing application determines a closest random access point to the point of interest and modifies the point of interest to coincide with the closest random access point. The encoding application can also modify the point of interest to coincide with an existing random access point if the point of interest is within a tolerance of the existing random access point and the point of interest is not frame specific. Further, the encoding application can modify media metrics, computed using pre-encoded versions of the media content item, using heuristics to account for operator-specified points of interest that do not coincide with, or are not within a tolerance of, existing random access points.
