Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses and non-transitory, computer-readable storage mediums are disclosed for a media editing application with an anchored timeline for editing captions and subtitles. In an embodiment, a method comprises: causing to display on a display device, by one or more hardware processors executing a media editing application, a graphical user interface (GUI) including a timeline; causing to display on the timeline, by the one or more hardware processors, a first lane including a media object; causing to display on the timeline, by the one or more hardware processors, a second lane including a caption or subtitle object; and anchoring, by the one or more hardware processors, the media object to the caption or subtitle object in the timeline.

Abstract: Among other things, a method includes receiving, from a user of a user interface of a media authoring application, first settings specifying a destination for media content authored in the media authoring application, the destination selected from a set of destinations supported by the media authoring application, and second settings specifying a set of media characteristics of media content authored in the media authoring application, and generating data representing a user interface element usable to provide media content authored in the media authoring application to the destination specified in the first settings at the set of media characteristics specified in the second settings.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a GUI for a media editing application that provides visual cues (e.g., colors and/or lane sets) for media clips that are assigned different tags (or roles) in a media presentation. The GUI of the media application of some embodiments displays media clips of a composite media presentation, in which at least some of the media clips are associated with tags. The GUI also provides GUI controls for associating media clips associated with different tags with different colors and for displaying the media clips based on the clips' associated color. In some embodiments, the GUI includes a tool for arranging clips into groups based on assigned tags. The tool of some embodiments, upon selection, defines a set of lanes for each tag and displays any anchored clip that is associated with a tag in the set of lanes associated with the tag.
