A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a media-editing application for execution by at least one processing unit, the media-editing application comprising sets of instructions for:

displaying a trackless composite display area for creating a composite presentation from a plurality of different media clips, the composite presentation comprising both (i) a first media clip that is not a multi-camera media clip and (ii) a multi-camera media clip that comprises a plurality of different groups of ordered media clips, wherein a particular group of the plurality of different groups is selected for use in the composite presentation;
and upon receiving a selection through the trackless composite display area to edit the multi-camera media clip in the composite presentation, automatically displaying each of the different groups of ordered media clips as separate tracks in the composite display area.

A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a media-editing application for execution by at least one processing unit, the media-editing application comprising sets of instructions for:

displaying representations of a set of media clips that define a composite presentation in a composite display area, the set of media clips comprising (i) a first media clip that refers to a reference clip comprising a plurality of different groups of ordered media clips and (ii) a second media clip, subsequent to the first media clip in the composite presentation, that refers to the same reference clip, wherein the first media clip refers to a first duration of the reference clip and the second media clip refers to a second duration of the reference clip that is subsequent to the first duration within the reference clip;
when a user places a location indicator over a border between the first media clip and the second media clip in the composite display area, displaying an indicator for a first editing operation for modifying the first and second media clips;
and
when a user places the location indicator over a border between the first media clip and a third media clip that does not refer to the reference clip, displaying an indicator for a second, different editing operation for modifying only one of the first and third media clips.
