A medium bearing instructions to enable one or more machines to perform operations comprising:

• displaying, within a user interface, a view pane having a vertical direction and a horizontal direction;
• displaying, within the view pane, a poster frame represented by a bounded region, the poster frame representing a container, the container comprising a plurality of objects;
• detecting a selection of a position in the poster frame, wherein the position corresponds to an object in the container;
• receiving an input to split the poster frame into a first split poster frame and a second split poster frame;
• in response to receiving the input:
• splitting the poster frame into the first split poster frame and the second split poster frame, the first split poster frame representing a first split container comprising a subset of the plurality of objects, the subset including the object to which the position in the poster frame corresponds, the second split poster frame representing a second split container comprising a remainder of the plurality of objects and excluding the subset of the plurality of objects included in the first split container, and
• displaying the first split poster frame and the second split poster frame in the view pane;
• and
• in response to detecting a selection of a position outside the poster frame, displaying a default object of the plurality of objects within the poster frame.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• displaying, within a user interface, a view pane having a vertical direction and a horizontal direction;
• displaying, within the view pane, a poster frame represented by a bounded region, the poster frame representing a container, the container comprising a plurality of objects, wherein each of a plurality of positions within the bounded region correspond to each object of the plurality of objects;
• determining a scrolling of a position indicator across the plurality of positions the poster frame, wherein in response to determining the scrolling of the position indicator, the plurality of objects, one object at a time, within the bounded region;
• detecting a positioning of the position indicator at a position of the plurality of positions within the bounded region, the position being between and different from a start position and an end position within the bounded region;
• displaying, within the bounded region, an object that corresponds to the position at which the positioning of the position indicator is detected;
• while the position indicator is at the position and while the object is displayed within the bounded region, receiving an input to split the poster frame into a first split poster frame and a second split poster frame;
• in response to receiving the input:
• splitting the poster frame into the first split poster frame and the second split poster frame, the first split poster frame representing a first split container comprising a subset of the plurality of objects comprising a first object that corresponds to the start position of the position indicator and the object that corresponds to the position, the second split poster frame representing a second split container comprising a remainder of the plurality of objects and excluding the objects in the first split poster frame;
• and
• displaying the first split poster frame and the second split poster frame in the view pane.

A method comprising:

• displaying, within a user interface, a view pane having a vertical direction and a horizontal direction;
• displaying, within the view pane, a poster frame represented by a bounded region, the poster frame representing a container, the container comprising a plurality of objects, wherein each of a plurality of positions within the bounded region correspond to each object of the plurality of objects;
• determining a scrolling of a position indicator across the plurality of positions the poster frame, wherein in response to determining the scrolling of the position indicator, the plurality of objects, one object at a time, within the bounded region;
• detecting a positioning of the position indicator at a position of the plurality of positions within the bounded region, the position being between and different from a start position and an end position within the bounded region;
• displaying, within the bounded region, an object that corresponds to the position at which the positioning of the position indicator is detected;
• while the position indicator is at the position and while the object is displayed within the bounded region, receiving an input to split the poster frame into a first split poster frame and a second split poster frame;
• in response to receiving the input:
• splitting the poster frame into the first split poster frame and the second split poster frame, the first split poster frame representing a first split container comprising a subset of the plurality of objects comprising a first object that corresponds to the start position of the position indicator and the object that corresponds to the position, the second split poster frame representing a second split container comprising a remainder of the plurality of objects and excluding the objects in the first split poster frame;
• and
• displaying the first split poster frame and the second split poster frame in the view pane.
