ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides apparatus and methods for use in computer display systems, and in particular, a graphical user interface for use in computer systems. The user interface of the present invention includes a function palette that displays a variety of function icons. Each function icon corresponds to a function that a user may wish to perform. The user selects a function icon from the palette corresponding to the desired function and the user places a copy of the icon at that point in the display where the function is to be performed. For example, in the context of a multimedia video editor, the user may place an icon on a timeline that corresponds to source material. The desired function will then be performed on the source material at that point where the user placed the icon, either immediately or upon subsequent command from the user.
