Techniques for positioning audio and video clips
First Claim
1. A computer program product, encoded on a computer-readable medium, operable to cause data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- in response to selection of a first clip in a first track, moving the selected first clip in a timeline sequence, wherein the timeline sequence comprises a plurality of matched audio and video tracks configured to serve as containers for clips, wherein the first clip is linked with a second clip; and
in response to selection of the second clip, moving the selected second clip into a track that is a non-matching track in the timeline sequence, wherein the non-matching track comprises a track that is not associated with a track where the first clip is located.

Abstract
Techniques and systems for positioning video and audio clips in timeline sequences. In some embodiments, a computer program product, encoded on a computer-readable medium, is operable to cause data processing apparatus to perform operations that include, in response to selection of a first clip in a first track, moving the selected first clip in a timeline sequence. The timeline sequence includes multiple matched audio and video tracks configured to serve as containers for clips, and the first clip is linked with a second clip. In response to selection of the second clip, the operations include moving the selected second clip into a track that is a non-matching track in the timeline sequence, in which the non-matching track includes a track that is not associated with a track where the first clip is located. The drag-and-drop techniques can allow independent placement of linked audio and video clips into non-matching tracks.

13. A system comprising:
-
a user interface device; and one or more computers operable to interact with the user interface device and to; in response to selection of a first clip, drag the first clip in a timeline sequence, wherein the timeline sequence comprises a plurality of matched audio and video tracks, wherein the plurality of matched audio and video tracks in the timeline sequence are configured to serve as containers for clips, wherein the first clip is linked with a second clip; in response to selection of the second clip, drag the second clip into a non-matching track in the timeline sequence before the first clip is dropped into a first track in the timeline sequence, wherein the non-matching track comprises a track that is not matched with a track at a position of the first clip; and in response to deselection of the first clip or second clip, drop the first clip in the first track and drop the second clip in the non-matching track. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A method for editing video and audio clips comprising:
-
in response to selection of a first clip, dragging the first clip in a timeline sequence, wherein the timeline sequence comprises a plurality of matched audio and video tracks, wherein the plurality of matched audio and video tracks in the timeline sequence are configured to serve as containers for clips, wherein the first clip is linked with a second clip; in response to selection of the second clip, dragging the second clip into a non-matching track in the timeline sequence before the first clip is dropped in a first track in the timeline sequence, wherein the non-matching track comprises a track that is not matched with a track at a position of the first clip; and in response to deselection of the first clip or second clip, dropping the first clip in the first track and dropping the second clip in the non-matching track. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
