Edit visualizer for modifying and evaluating uncommitted media content
First Claim
1. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a media editing application for creating media presentations, said application comprising a graphical user interface (GUI), said GUI comprising:
- a composite display area for displaying graphical representations of a set of committed media clips that are part of a composite presentation and a set of candidate media clips that are candidates for adding to the composite presentation;
a preview tool for;
adding a candidate media clip to the composite display area at a particular location that at least partially overlaps a graphical representation of a committed media clip, anddifferentiating in the composite display area the graphical representation of the added candidate media clip, which is a candidate for adding to the composite presentation but is not part of the composite presentation, from the graphical representation of the committed media clip that is part of the composite presentation, wherein the differentiating comprises displaying the candidate clip'"'"'s graphical representation with a different shape than the committed clip'"'"'s graphical representation; and
a preview display area for displaying a preview of the composite presentation, wherein a preview of the committed media clip in the composite presentation is superseded by a preview of the candidate media clip in accord with the overlap of the graphical representation of the candidate media clip over the graphical representation of the committed media clip.

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 and a set of media clips that are candidates for adding to the composite presentation, and (3) a preview tool for differentiating in the composite display area the graphical representation of any media clip that is part of the composite presentation from the graphical representation of any media clip that is a candidate for adding to the composite presentation.

11. A method of creating media presentations using a media editing application, said method comprising:
-
providing a display area for displaying a composite presentation that the application creates by compositing a plurality of media clips; providing a composite display area for displaying geometric shapes representing media clips at a plurality of locations in the composite display area, the media clips comprising a set of committed media clips that are part of the composite presentation and a set of candidate media clips that are candidates for adding to the composite presentation; and providing a preview tool for (i) adding a candidate media clip to the composite display area and (ii) differentiating in the composite display area the geometric shape of any particular committed media clip that is part of the composite presentation and is displayed at a particular location in the composite display area, from the geometric shape of any particular candidate media clip that is a candidate for adding to the composite presentation at the particular location in the composite display area, said preview tool differentiating the geometric shapes in order to simultaneously display the particular committed and candidate media clips at the particular location in the composite display area. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a media editing application, the media editing application comprising:
-
a set of instructions for providing a preview display area for previewing a composite presentation that the application creates by compositing a plurality of audio clips; a set of instructions for providing a composite display area for displaying geometric shapes of a set of committed audio clips that are part of the composite presentation and a set of candidate audio clips that are candidates for adding to the composite presentation; and a set of instructions for providing a preview tool for (i) converting a particular committed audio clip, that is displayed in the composite display area and is part of the composite presentation, to a candidate audio clip that is a candidate for adding to the composite presentation but is not part of the composite presentation and (ii) differentiating in the composite display area the geometric shape of any committed audio clip that is part of the composite presentation from the geometric shape of the converted candidate audio clip, wherein differentiation of the committed and candidate audio clips allows any candidate audio clip in the composite display area to be distinguished from any committed audio clips in the composite display area. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
