Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: rendering a visual representation comprising a self-enclosed timeline representing a duration of time-varying content, the self-enclosed timeline comprising a circular timeline including one or more frames of the time-varying content, the one or more frames presented as incremented according to a first unit of time; receiving a selection of a segment of the self-enclosed timeline; in response to the selection, presenting an enlarged segment of the self-enclosed timeline, the enlarged segment being incremented according to a second unit of time, the second unit of time being smaller than the first unit of time; and in response to the selection, shrinking a visual representation of a remainder of the self-enclosed timeline, wherein the remainder of the self-enclosed timeline is a portion of the self-enclosed timeline outside of the enlarged segment, and wherein the remainder is presented as incremented according to the first unit of time.
