A timeline source is described. In an implementation, a method includes examining a plurality of nodes within a media timeline, where at least two of the nodes reference respective media. The media timeline is for exposure over an API. The media timeline is divided into one or more presentations. Each presentation describes rendering of the media for a particular interval of time.

Timeline source

A media timeline is described. In an implementation, a method includes receiving a request from an application at an application programming interface (API) to interact with a plurality of media. Based on the request, a media timeline is generated. The media timeline is for exposure via the API to the application and includes a plurality of nodes. The media timeline defines a presentation of a first media referenced by a first node with respect to a second media referenced by a second node.

Media timeline

Media timeline sorting is described. In an implementation, a method includes receiving a media timeline at an application programming interface, in which, the media timeline includes a plurality of timeline objects. One or more of the timeline objects reference a respective one of a plurality of media. A plurality of segments is generated from the media timeline for sequential rendering such that each segment references a particular set of the timeline objects that are rendering during a duration of the segment.
