Disclosed are methods and systems for providing a scaled user interface. A content player can provide a user interface that enables a user to manage playback (e.g., seek) of the time-based content item. The user can access a first playback direction (e.g., a first playback axis, etc.) associated with the time-based content item and cause a user interface element to be displayed. The user can click/press the user interface element in a continuous action to cause a second playback direction (e.g., a second playback axis, etc.) to be displayed. The second playback direction can be associated with a scale that is different (e.g., less/greater) than a scale associated with the first playback direction.
