Editing within single timeline
First Claim
1. A system for editing a project comprising a plurality of media clips, comprising an output device for displaying:
- a canvas, comprising a representation of the project, wherein if the project is being played the representation of the project shows the project as the project is playing, and wherein if the project is not being played the representation of the project comprises a plurality of selectable and spatially movable representations of the plurality of media clips that comprise the project, and wherein a location of a spatially movable representation represents where the media clip is displayed within the project when the project is playing; and
a timeline display representing a duration of the project, the timeline display comprising, for each currently selected representation of a media clip in the canvas, a corresponding timeline representation of the media clip;
wherein the timeline representation is displayed when the corresponding spatially movable representation is selected, and wherein the timeline representation is absent when the corresponding spatially movable representation is not selected.

Abstract
Video clips are depicted both in an overall layer and in a set of individual tracks, or rows. The user can cause the display to be expanded or collapsed, as desired, so as to reveal or hide the individual tracks. Video clips are fully editable in either the expanded or collapsed viewing modes. When the collapsed mode is in effect, bars representing individual video clips are still visible, and can be individually selected and manipulated. When the expanded mode is in effect, separate tracks are shown for each individual clip, but the overall layer remains visible, and the individual video clips also remain visible, selectable, and manipulable within the overall layer.
