First Claim
1. A method for editing a project comprising a plurality of media clips, comprising:
- displaying an overview layer comprising a first editable representation of each of at least a subset of the plurality of media clips that comprise the project, wherein the overview layer is oriented along an axis representing time, and wherein each first editable representation has a dimension along the axis representing a temporal length of a corresponding one of the at least a subset of the plurality of media clips;
displaying, for each of the plurality of media clips, a track comprising a second editable representation of a corresponding one of the plurality of media clips, wherein the track is oriented along the axis representing time, and wherein the second editable representation has a dimension along the axis representing a temporal length of the corresponding one of the plurality of media clips, and wherein the track and the overview layer are concurrently displayed; and
wherein editing the at least one of the first and second editable representations manipulates a corresponding one of the plurality of media clips.

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.
