Method, graphical interface and computer-readable medium for generating a preview of a reformatted preview segment
First Claim
1. A method for generating a preview of a reformatted preview segment of a selected input file, comprising:
- for a single graphical window;
associating each of a plurality of input file graphical elements with a corresponding branch of a batch job tree in a first portion of the single graphical window responsive to a user graphically repositioning each of the plurality of input file graphical elements to the first portion;
globally associating a first reformatting processes to each of the plurality of input file graphical elements in each branch of the batch job tree;
locally associating a second reformatting process to one of the plurality of input file graphical elements associated with a selected input file;
displaying a preview pane;
displaying preview controls including a file timeline indicator configured to graphically depict a time length of the selected input file and a play head configured to graphically depict a displayed location within said selected input file;
identifying a segment of the selected input file to be reformatted and previewed, wherein the identified segment has a duration of time shorter than a duration of time of the selected input file;
displaying a preview in marker and a preview out marker configured to graphically depict the identified segment of said selected input file;
reformatting said identified segment of said selected input file into a temporary reformatted preview segment according to the second reformatting process, wherein reformatting said identified segment occurs prior to reformatting the entire selected input file according to the second reformatting process;
displaying said temporary reformatted preview segment in said preview pane without beginning a process to reformat the selected input file entirely; and
converting all of the selected input file to a compressed output file format according to the second reformatting process and responsive to activation by the user.

Abstract
A method, graphical interface and computer-readable medium for generating a preview of a reformatted preview segment of a selected input file. A preview pane is displayed in a single window and includes preview controls including a file timeline indicator configured to graphically depict a length of a selected input file. Preview in and out markers are displayed and configured to define a preview segment of the selected input file. The preview segment is reformatted into a reformatted preview segment according to the reformatting process associated with the selected input file. The reformatted preview segment is displayed in the preview pane.

8. A graphical interface stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium for generating a preview of a reformatted preview segment of reformatted data, the graphical interface comprising:
-
a reformatting interface pane in a single window including a reformat selector for activating execution of a batch job associated with a batch job tree, the reformatting interface pane configured to; associate each of a plurality of input file graphical elements with a corresponding branch of the batch job tree in a first portion of the single window responsive to a user graphically repositioning each of the plurality of input file graphical elements to the first portion; globally associating a first reformatting processes to each of the plurality of input file graphical elements in each branch of the batch job tree; locally associate a second reformatting process to one of the plurality of input file graphical elements associated with a selected input file; a preview pane of said single window including preview controls, wherein the preview controls include a file timeline indicator configured to graphically depict a time length of the selected input file, a preview in marker and a preview out marker configured to graphically depict an identified segment of said selected input file to be temporarily reformatted and previewed, wherein the time length of the identified segment is shorter than the time length of the selected input file; means for; reformatting said identified segment of said selected input file into a temporary reformatted preview segment according to the second reformatting process prior to beginning a process to reformat the entire selected input file according to the second reformatting process; and reformatting all of the selected input file upon activation of the reformat selector; and a reformatted preview display of said single window displaying said temporary reformatted preview segment of said reformatted data in said single window. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
