1. A method, comprising:
- displaying, by a computer, a timeline comprising multiple frames within a user interface;
receiving user input to select, from within the displayed timeline, a segment comprising two or more frames of the multiple frames;
visibly marking the segment comprising two or more frames to indicate that the segment is selected in response to receiving the user input;
detecting additional user input to a visible user interface element displayed within the user interface for activating a condensing control while the segment is selected and the two or more frames are each visibly displayed within the selected segment; and
visibly condensing the selected segment on the displayed timeline in response to said detecting of the additional user input activating the condensing control, the visibly condensing the selected segment comprising replacing the two or more frames with a visual indicator on the timeline to represent the condensed selected segment.
