Patent ID: 8286081

Claim:
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a media editing application that when executed by at least one processing unit provides a graphical user interface (“GUI”) for editing media items, the GUI comprising: a key-indexed geometry editor for specifying a plurality of different key-indexed geometries to represent a plurality of different attributes of a first media item, each key-indexed geometry spanning along a dimension and comprising a set of movable key indices at a set of different locations along the dimension to specify a set of values of one attribute at the set of different locations; a preset tool for selecting a first range along the dimension of a first key-indexed geometry representing a first attribute and a second range along the dimension of a second key-indexed geometry representing a second attribute, and saving one unified preset to a preset library based on the selected first and second ranges, wherein at least one of the first and second ranges spans only a portion of a duration of the corresponding key-indexed geometry; and a preset display area for displaying a representation of the one unified preset, wherein a selection of the representation causes the first and second attributes of a second media item to be modified according to the first and second ranges of the first and second key-indexed geometries.
