Abstract
A computer-implemented method can include displaying, within a user interface in a digital media system, a media pane, and a project pane, displaying, within the media pane, a thumbnail group representing a media item, the thumbnail group comprising one or more thumbnails, a thumbnail comprising a plurality of frames, enabling a user to select, from the thumbnail group, a frame of the media item, and upon detecting that the user has selected a frame, creating a group of frames, the group of frames including the selected frame and one or more adjacent frames.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- displaying, within a user interface in a digital media system, a media pane, and a project pane;
- displaying, within the media pane, a plurality of thumbnails, each thumbnail representing a plurality of frames, wherein each frame within a thumbnail corresponds to a different location within the thumbnail;
- detecting a selection of a frame based on a location within one of the thumbnails;
- wherein the detecting comprises detecting a selection of the location within the thumbnail being displayed within the media pane;
- the selection of the location causing a playhead to be displayed at the selected location;
- wherein the playhead disappears upon selection of a location away from the thumbnail;
- in response to the detecting:
- automatically designating a group of frames, the group of flames including the selected frame and a quantity of adjacent frames corresponding to a predetermined media play duration;
- and
- in response to input, transferring the designated group of frames to the project pane.
A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a computer system to perform operations comprising:
- displaying, within a user interface in a digital media system, a media pane, and a project pane;
- displaying, within the media pane, a plurality of thumbnails, each thumbnail representing a plurality of frames, wherein each frame within a thumbnail corresponds to a different location within the thumbnail;
- detecting a selection of a frame based on a location within one of the thumbnails;
- wherein the detecting comprises detecting a selection of the location within the thumbnail being displayed within the media pane;
- the selection of the location causing a playhead to be displayed at the selected location;
- wherein the playhead disappears upon selection of a location away from the thumbnail;
- in response to the detecting:
- automatically designating a group of frames, the group of frames including the selected frame and a quantity of adjacent frames corresponding to a predetermined media play duration;
- and
- in response to input, transferring the designated group of frames to the project pane.
