Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for providing audio with captured video clips. The program and method provide for displaying, by a messaging application, a capture user interface for capturing video; providing a camera mode selection element which is selectable to switch between a first camera mode for capturing a single video clip and a second camera mode for capturing multiple video clips, to generate a media content item; providing an audio selection element which is selectable to select an audio track for the media content item; receiving, via the camera mode selection element, first user input selecting the second camera mode; receiving, via the audio selection element, second user input selecting the audio track; and providing for capturing multiple video clips in association with the selected audio track for generating the media content item.

Selecting an audio track in association with multi-video clip capture

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for adding time-based captions to captured video. The program and method provide for displaying, by a messaging application, a preview user interface for previewing and editing captured video in order to generate a media content item, the preview user interface including an interface element which is selectable to switch to a captions user interface for adding a caption to the media content item; switching, in response to first user input selecting the interface element, to the captions user interface which is configured to receive user input for caption content and a duration to display the caption content; receiving, via the captions user interface, second user input for the caption content and the duration; and generating the media content item based on the caption content and the duration to display the caption content.

Adding time-based captions to captured video within a messaging system

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for trimming video in association with multi-video clip capture. The program and method provide for displaying a capture user interface in accordance with a camera mode configured to capture multiple video clips for combining to generate a media content item; capturing the multiple video clips based on first user input received via the capture user interface, which includes a preview button selectable to navigate to a preview user interface for previewing and editing the multiple video clips; receiving, via the capture user interface, second user input selecting the preview button; and displaying, in response to the receiving, the preview user interface with a preview bar including a respective thumbnail for each of the multiple video clips, the preview bar being selectable to individually trim one or more of the multiple video clips.

The subject technology causes, at a client device, display of a graphical interface comprising a plurality of selectable graphical items, each selectable graphical item corresponding to a respective content item associated with a different geolocation. The subject technology receives, at the client device, a selection of a first selectable graphical item from the plurality of selectable graphical items, the first selectable graphical item corresponding to a particular geolocation. The subject technology causes display, at the client device, a second plurality of selectable graphical items, each of the second plurality of selectable graphical items corresponding to a particular second geolocation of an activity or place of business within a geographical area associated with the particular geolocation.

A user input content video is presented on a user system. A user input content combination indicium associated with a combination function is presented. Responsive to detection of a user selection of the user input content combination indicium, the combination function is activated. The combination function detects selection, by a user, of a portion of the user input content video, and accesses a second user input content item. The portion of the user input content video is combined with the second user input content item, based on one or more combination options selected by the user, to create a combined user input content video.

Creating time-based combination videos

Systems and methods are provided for determining that a message received from a second computing device associated with a second user is an interactive message and causing the interactive message to be displayed. In response to a selection to skip engagement with the interactive message, the systems and methods display a message feed with a list of a plurality of users and cause a selectable engagement indicium to be displayed next to a list entry of the second user in the list. The system and methods further determine that a predetermined amount of time has elapsed since the start time of the display of the interactive message without engagement with the interactive message and cause the interactive message to be deleted from the message feed and the selectable engagement indicium removed from next to the list entry of the second user.

Access and routing of interactive messages

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for trimming video. The program and method provide for providing a capture user interface for capturing a video to generate a media content item; displaying a preview user interface for previewing and editing the captured video to generate the media content item, the preview user interface including an interface element for selecting to trim the captured video or to set a playback option for the media content item; receiving, via the interface element, user input selecting to trim the captured video; and displaying a preview bar within the preview user interface, the preview bar including a set of frames of the captured video and front and back handles respectively positioned in front and in back of the set of frames, each of the front and back handles being selectable to trim video.
