a viewing window for viewing a selected one of the individual media elements;
a timeline including temporal markings, said timeline being configured to display a graphical representation of said media project including graphical representations of individual media elements inserted into said media project, and being configured to enable arrangement of individual media elements into a temporal order by alignment with the timeline's temporal markings and editing of said individual media elements; and
a concatenator element; and
while simultaneously displaying the concatenator element, the media bin, the viewing window, and the timeline in the graphical user interface, and responsive to a user actuating the concatenator element:
