1. A method of generating a movie preview, the method comprising:
- receiving a selection of a plurality of frames of a movie;
generating a preview object including the plurality of frames, wherein generating the preview object comprises concatenating the plurality of frames to form a single image comprising a plurality of different portions, wherein each portion of the plurality of different portions respectively corresponds to one of the plurality of frames of the movie, wherein concatenating the plurality of frames to form the single image includes vertically or horizontally concatenating the frames to form the single image; and
encoding the preview object for display in a display area such that;
based on different positions of a control device within the display area, the different portions of the single image are individually selected for display in the display area, andonly one portion of the plurality of different portions of the single image corresponding to only one of the frames of the movie is displayed in the display area at a time.
