Abstract:
1. A method comprising the steps of: generating a first visual representation of a first media clip; generating a second visual representation of a second media clip; automatically analyzing the first media clip to identify a first point within the first media clip, wherein the first point is an intra-clip point of interest (POI) that is neither the beginning of the first media clip nor the end of the first media clip; after identifying the first point, generating a visual indication of the first point; receiving input that drags one of the first visual representation and the second visual representation relative to the other of the first visual representation and the second visual representation; while receiving said input, monitoring the distance between the first point of the first visual representation and a second point of the second visual representation; in response to detecting that the distance falls below a threshold while one of the first visual representation and the second visual representation is being dragged, automatically shifting one of the first or second visual representations to cause the first point and the second point to be aligned; wherein the method is performed by one or more computer systems.
