Described herein is a computer implemented method. The method includes displaying, on a display, a scene timeline including a time-ordered sequence of scene previews, each scene preview corresponding to a scene of a video production and having a display width that provides a visual indication of a duration of that scene. The method further includes displaying a canvas including a first visual element that is associated with the first scene, and in response to detecting selection of the first visual element from the canvas, causing a first visual element timing indicator to be displayed. The first visual element timing indicator is aligned with the scene timeline based on a first visual element start time and a first visual element end time.
