1. A software product including a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
display a graphical user interface for a video editing system, the graphical user interface including:
a media bin displaying a plurality of media elements imported into the video editing system,
a viewing window for viewing a selected one of the plurality of media elements,
a timeline,
a concatenator element, and
a focus element;
receive a user input actuating the concatenator element;
responsive to the user input actuating the concatenator element, concatenate the media elements present in the media bin together into a single media element and loads the single media element into the viewing window;
receive a user input actuating the focus element; and
responsive to the user input actuating the focus element, modify the single media element to form a focused single media element that concatenates only those media elements present in the media bin with related metadata and loads the focused single media element into the viewing window,
wherein the concatenator element and the focus element comprise different modes of operation of a context sensitive user interface element, and
wherein the context sensitive user interface element operates as the concatenator element in a first context, and operates as the focus element in a second context.
