Media editing application for auditioning different types of media clips
First Claim
1. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program which when executed by at least one processing unit creates a composite media presentation from a plurality of media clips, the program comprising sets of instructions for:
- creating an audition set as a set of two or more media clips associated with a particular location in a composite display area, the composite display area for receiving placement of media clips to specify a description of the composite media presentation;
adding to the audition set at least one of a plurality of different types of media clips, including at least one composite media clip that comprises a plurality of concatenated media clips placed on a single track, to associate the media clips of the audition set with the particular location as candidates for placement in the composite display area at the particular location, wherein only one of the media clips is the only committed media clip for the audition set; and
modifying the audition set, in response to input, such that a different one of the media clips is the only committed media clip in the audition set to include in the composite media presentation.

Abstract
Some embodiments provide a program that creates a composite media presentation from several media clips. The program creates an audition set for a particular location in a composite display area for placing media clips to specify a description of the composite media presentation. The program adds to the audition set several different types of media clips that are candidates for placement in the composite display area at the particular location. The program iteratively selects a different media clip in the audition set as the only committed media clip in the audition set to include in the composite media presentation.
