Abstract
A flexible hose user interface is used to promote sophisticated editing of video sequences in an easy manner. The flexible hose allows a user to visualize the effects of cropping on a frame by frame basis. A time axis action identifier aids the user in checking if desired objects are in all frames of the sequence. This is accomplished easily by dragging the time axis identifier through the flexible hose.
