ABSTRACT:
A computer editing system graphical user interface includes at least one central processing unit (CPU) coupled through appropriate input/output (I/O) circuitry to input devices, such as a cursor control device, and a display device. The CPU is further coupled to a storage device for the storage of data and programs including a database. The database comprises a plurality of source logs indicating a beginning point and an ending point defining all the available source material for the corresponding source log. An output sequence of selected source material is displayed on a timeline as source material blocks, wherein the source material blocks are defined by a head point and a tail point. Through the computer editing system, a user performs a variety of re-editing functions to trim existing source material and to insert new source material on the timeline. When performing a re-edit function, all available source material blocks for a source log selected for re-edit is displayed. The selected source block displayed is visually distinguished by size, color and relative layering. By distinguishing the selected source block for which re-edit is desired, the user is permitted to clearly view all the available source material for the selected source block.
