For a media-editing application, some embodiments of the invention provide a novel two-dimensional free-form space that allows a user to both visually organize media clips and composite media clips in order to create composite presentations. To visually organize media clips in the space, some embodiments allow the user to add, remove, visually arrange and rearrange, and minimize the media clips. Also, the media clips in the space can be placed at any location within the entire space when the user is visually organizing the media clips. To composite media clips in the free-form space, some embodiments also allow the user to create sequences of media clips, reorder the media clips within sequences, stack sequences, and add or remove media clips from sequences. In some embodiments, the media clips or created sequences can be placed at any location within the entire space when the user is organizing and compositing media clips.
