Abstract

Novel techniques and tools for authoring multimedia compositions are presented. The novel techniques and tools allow an author of a multimedia composition to create a multimedia composition by dragging assets from a first window containing a project's unused assets and placing the assets into a structural relationship in a second window. The author may also remove assets from the structural relationship in the second window and return the assets to the first window of unused assets. The novel techniques and tools allow an author of a multimedia composition to better keep track of the assets to be used in the multimedia composition.
