Abstract:
A method to display a representation of multimedia content that includes a progress bar. The method includes shortening a portion of the multimedia content having a start time and an end time from an original length to a shortened length based on a received indication and modifying the progress bar to represent the shortened portion of the multimedia content. The original length of the portion is represented by a curve adjacent to the progress bar, where a first end of the curve is adjacent to the progress bar at a location indicating the start time, and where a second end of the curve is adjacent to the progress bar at a location indicating the end time, and the shortened length of the portion is represented by a distance on the progress bar between the location indicating the start time and the location indicating the end time.
