using at least one processor of a user system, causing presentation of a user input content video on the user system;
causing presentation of a user input content combination indicium associated with a combination function;
detecting user selection of the user input content combination indicium;
in response to the detection of the user selection of the user input content combination indicium, activating the combination function to cause presentation of a timeline and provide a trim function with respect to the user input content video to enable a user to trim the user input content video, the trim function defaulting to selection of a predetermined portion of the user input content video;
detecting selection of a portion of the user input content video by a user action performed with respect to the timeline, thereby obtaining a selected portion of the user input content video;
accessing a second user input content item; and
combining the selected portion of the user input content video with the second user input content item; to create a combined user input content video.
