1. A method comprising: generating a video sequence from a plurality of video segments, wherein the plurality of video segments are arranged sequentially in the video sequence; identifying an inability to output at least one video segment in the video sequence in substantially real time; displaying a first indicator in a graphical display of the video segments in the video sequence, the first indicator graphically indicating video segments that are able to be output in substantially real time at a full output level; displaying a second indicator in the graphical display of the video segments in the video sequence, the second indicator graphically indicating video segments that are able to be output in substantially real time at a reduced output level; displaying a third indicator in the graphical display of the video segments in the video sequence, the third indicator graphically indicating the inability to output the at least one video segment in substantially real time; and adjusting an output level associated with the at least one video segment to enable the at least one video segment to be output in substantially real time.
