1. A method, comprising:
providing a capture user interface for capturing a video to generate a media content item;
automatically switching, upon completion of capturing the video, from the capture user interface to a preview user interface for previewing and editing the captured video in order to generate the media content item, the preview user interface including a preview bar in a contracted state, the contracted state including a first set of frames of the captured video and omitting front and back handles, wherein the preview bar is automatically displayed in the contracted state based on a length of the captured video exceeding a preset length;
receiving user input selecting the preview bar; and
updating, in response to the receiving, the preview bar from the contracted state to an expanded state, the expanded state including a second set of frames of the captured video which is larger than the first set of frames, further including a front handle and a back handle respectively positioned in front and in back of the second set of frames, each of the front handle and the back handle being selectable to trim the captured video, and further including a splitting element which is user-selectable to split the captured video into separate video clips.
