Abstract: A browser in a media editing application enables a user to store a desired set of parameters for a given effect, and thereafter select the stored data and apply it to other media content, without the need to manually set the parameter values each time. In one embodiment, the user can manually save customized or frequently used effects in the browser, for subsequent selection and application to media content. In another embodiment, the browser can include functionality that analyzes previously created and stored projects, to identify repeatedly used effects. If an effect is identified that meets a certain frequency of use threshold, the browser can auto-populate itself with that effect, and its corresponding parameters, for subsequent selection and application to media content by the user.

Abstract: A browser for a media editing application provides simultaneous access to multiple categories of media. The user can drag the edge of a media browser to create a new window, which can then be populated with a new category of media content. The user can identify and select multiple items of content at one time, and move them to the timeline tracks in conjunction with one another. The different media windows can be associated with corresponding tracks, or roles, in the timeline. If the user selects media from multiple windows simultaneously, they can be added to the timeline as one group, with each item of content being positioned within its corresponding track or role of the timeline.
