First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- at least one processor for executing sets of instructions; and
a memory that stores a program for creating a composite media presentation, the program comprising;
sets of instructions for providing a composite display area for displaying a set of graphical representations that represent a set of committed media clips that are committed to be a part of the composite presentation;
sets of instructions for providing an audition tool for creating an audition set associated with a particular location in the composite display area, the audition set comprising a plurality of media clips associated with the particular location, wherein only one media clip of the audition set is active in the composite presentation and inactive media clips are candidates for inclusion in the composite presentation at the particular location;
sets of instructions for providing a range selector for selecting, in the composite display area, a portion of the composite presentation that includes the particular location associated with the audition set; and
sets of instructions for providing a preview display area for automatically playing back the media clips within the selected portion of the composite presentation in a loop such that the selected portion is played back a number of times based on a number of different media clips in the audition set, each playback using a different one of the media clips in the audition set.

Abstract
A computer readable medium (CRM) storing a media editing application for creating media presentations is described. The application includes a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI has (1) a display area for displaying a composite presentation that the application creates by compositing a plurality of media clips, (2) a composite display area for displaying graphical representations of a set of media clips that are part of the composite presentation, (3) an audition display area for displaying graphical representations of a set of media clips that are candidates for adding to the composite presentation at a particular location, and (4) an audition tool for creating an audition set for a particular location in the composite display area, where the audition set is a user modifiable set of clips, each of which is for individual placement at the particular location for inclusion in the composite presentation.
