Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for visualizing and adjusting parameters of clips in a timeline. In one aspect, a method includes generating a clip for one or more media elements having parameters, each clip being a visual representation of an associated media element; displaying an interface for representing each clip relative to a timeline; displaying first and second parameter lanes associated with a first clip and having associated first and second parameter lane control elements; receiving an input modifying one or more of the first and second parameter lane control elements; and adjusting the parameters of the media element associated with the first clip according to one or more properties of the first and second parameter lane control elements.

Visualizing and adjusting parameters of clips in a timeline

The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to changing video playback rate. In general, one aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in a method that includes providing a user interface for a digital video editing system, the user interface including a graphical representation of playback rate and playback duration for a sequence of digital video, and the user interface including defined points that reference respective frames in the sequence of digital video; receiving input specifying a change in playback rate for the sequence of digital video; and showing the change in playback rate and a corresponding change in playback duration for the sequence of digital video, the showing including moving one of the defined points in accordance with a new temporal position of a corresponding frame referenced by the one of the defined points.

Changing video playback rate

Techniques and systems for recording video and audio in timeline sequences. In some embodiments, a method involves playing video from a timeline sequence that can include footage from portions of video tracks including at least one pre-recorded edit. In response to a selection of footage from the timeline sequence, the method can involve overwriting at least one pre-recorded edit in the timeline sequence. Each video track can correspond to a respective camera in a multiple-camera source. The footage can include one or more video clips, still images, frames, and moving images. The overwriting can occur while playing the video at a play rate faster than realtime, a play rate slower than realtime, a user-selected playing rate, during video scrubbing, or during realtime playback. The recording may involve a jump back input, and punch in and punch out locations associated with the timeline sequence.

Multiple-camera video recording

A respective user modifies (e.g., selects, drags, and drops) either one or both of a first visual representation of a first video clip segment and second visual representation of a second video clip segment to overlap with each other in order to create a so-called transition region while in an editing phase. In response to creating the overlap, a respective video editor application herein splices respective ends of the first visual representation and the second visual representation to indicate where respective first and second content overlap with each other. For example, to more clearly depict the spliced ends of content on a respective display screen, the video editor application initiates display of an overlapping content region to include a first region in which the first content appears to be overlaid on the second content and a second region in which the second content appears to be overlaid on the first content.
