Defining a border for an image

A method comprising:

• providing a display area for displaying an image;
• and
• providing a border drawing tool for:
• (i) defining a border based on a series of reference points defined over edges of the image within a vicinity of a location indicator as the location indicator moves across the image, the border drawn as a connected series of segments between the reference points, wherein the length of a segment between two consecutive reference points is based on a speed of the location indicator movement between the reference points while drawing the border;
• and
• (ii) when the location indicator moves over a particular segment on the previously defined border during the definition of the border, between a particular reference point and a next reference point in the series of reference points, leaving intact a previously defined section of the border from a start location of the border to the particular reference point while deleting the previously defined section of the border from the particular reference point to an ending point of the border.

A system comprising:

• a set of processing units for executing sets of instructions;
• a memory for storing a program which when executed by at least one of the processing units defines a border for an image, the program comprising sets of instructions for:
• receiving a single continuous input to move a location indicator over the image in a display area of a media-editing application;
• defining a border for the image along a series of reference points located at edges of the image along the movement of the location indicator, the border for use in defining a region of interest of the image, wherein the distance between two successive reference points is based on a speed of the location indicator movement between the two successive reference points while drawing the border;
• and
• when the single continuous input moves the location indicator over a location on the border between a first reference point and a second successive reference point, deleting a previously defined first section of the border from the first reference point to an ending point of the border while leaving a previously defined second section of the border intact from the first reference point to a starting point of the border.
