Patent number: 10990250Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Colleen Pendergast, Brian E. Meaney, David E. Conry, David N. Chen, Itrat U. Khan, Jack S. Yi, Jacqueline Chang, Jeffery Morse, Jordan P. McCommons, Joshua C. Hoover, Ken Matsuda, Nils Angquist, Stephen A. Bayes, William J.
