Interface for trimming videos

A method for presenting an interface for trimming a video, the method performed by a computing system including one or more processors, the method comprising:

• presenting, by the computing system, a graphical user interface and video content on a touchscreen display, the graphical user interface including interface elements and facilitating interaction of a user with one or more of the interface elements, wherein the interface elements include:
• a trim timeline element, the trim timeline element including a timeline representation of a video duration of the video content;
• and
• a trim position element that stays fixed with respect to the trim timeline element during movement of the timeline representation, the trim position element indicating a current time position of the video content;
• setting, by the computing system, the current time position indicated by the trim position element as a first end of a trim duration for the video content;
• determining, by the computing system, user interaction with the trim timeline element to move the timeline representation across the trim position element, wherein responsive to the user interaction with the trim timeline element moving the timeline representation to left of the trim position element, the first end of the trim duration is a beginning of the trim duration;
• and
• determining, by the computing system, a length of the trim duration for the video content based on an amount by which the timeline representation is moved across the trim position element.

A system for presenting an interface for trimming a video, the system comprising:

• one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
• present a graphical user interface and video content on a touchscreen display, the graphical user interface including interface elements and facilitating interaction of a user with one or more of the interface elements, wherein the interface elements include:
• a trim timeline element, the trim timeline element including a timeline representation of a video duration of the video content;
• and
• a trim position element that stays fixed with respect to the trim timeline element during movement of the timeline representation, the trim position element indicating a current time position of the video content;
• set the current time position indicated by the trim position element as a first end of a trim duration for the video content;
• determine user interaction with the trim timeline element to move the timeline representation across the trim position element, wherein responsive to the user interaction with the trim timeline element moving the timeline representation to left of the trim position element, the first end of the trim duration is a beginning of the trim duration;
• determine a length of the trim duration for the video content based on an amount by which the timeline representation is moved across the trim position element, wherein greater movement of the timeline representation across the trim position element results in a longer length of the trim duration and lesser movement of the timeline representation across the trim position element results in a shorter length of the trim duration;
• and
• set a new current time position indicated by the trim position element as a second end of the trim duration for the video content, wherein the setting of the first end of the trim duration and the second end of the duration fixes the trim duration.
