A method of providing a media editing application comprising a graphical user interface (GUI) for editing media content, said method comprising: to represent an attribute of a media item along a dimension, defining a key-indexed graph that spans along the dimension, and that comprises (i) at least two key indices at two different locations along the dimension to specify values of the attribute at the two different locations and (ii) a segment between the two key indices that defines a rate of change in the attribute values between the two key indices; and to modify the key-indexed graph without selection of any key indices, defining a selectable region below the key-indexed graph that when selected and moved, remains below the graph but changes a shape of the segment of the key-indexed graph in order to change the rate of change of the attribute values between the two key indices.
