A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program executable by at least one processing unit, the program comprising sets of instructions for:

• displaying, in a first display area, a credit roll that automatically scrolls through the first display area over a specified amount of time during playback of a media clip that includes the credit roll, such that at a particular time only a particular portion of the credit roll is displayed;
• displaying, in a second display area, a preview of the entire credit roll as a single continuous image that fits entirely within the second display area as a visual approximation of the entire credit roll, wherein a modification of the credit roll in the first display area automatically modifies the corresponding visual approximation in the second display area;
• and
• providing a window within the second display area, the window for indicating, in the preview, a portion of the credit roll that is concurrently displayed in the first display area, wherein the location of the window in the second display area automatically changes during playback of the media clip in order for the window to maintain a location over the portion of the visual approximation that corresponds to the particular portion of the entire credit roll displayed in the first display area as the entire credit roll automatically scrolls through the first display area.
