detecting a change zoom mode event; and

in response to detecting the change zoom mode event changing the active zoom mode.

3 . The computer implemented method of claim 2 , wherein:

if the editor zoom mode is active, changing the active zoom mode includes setting the overview zoom mode as the active zoom mode; and

if the overview zoom mode is active, changing the active zoom mode includes setting the editor zoom mode as the active zoom mode.

4 . The computer implemented method of claim 2 , wherein:

prior to detecting the change zoom mode event the editor zoom mode is active; and

the change zoom mode event is a second user interaction that is associated with the overview GUI.

5 . The computer implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the second user interaction is a user interaction with the first preview.

6 . The computer implemented method of claim 2 , wherein:

prior to detecting the change zoom mode event the overview zoom mode is active; and

the change zoom mode event is a third user interaction that is associated with the editor GUI.

7 . The computer implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the third user interaction is a user interaction with the view of the first playable component displayed in the editing GUI.

8 . The computer implemented method of claim 2 , further including displaying a zoom mode control, and wherein the change zoom mode event is a fourth user interaction with the zoom mode control.

9 . The computer implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the zoom mode control is displayed with a first appearance if the editor zoom mode is active and the zoom mode control is displayed with a second appearance if the overview zoom mode is active, the first appearance being different to the second appearance.

10 . The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the zoom level control is a slider control.

11 . The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the overview GUI includes displaying a plurality of previews corresponding to a plurality of playable components, and the plurality of previews are displayed adjacent one another along an axis in an order that is based on a playable component order as defined by the asset data.

12 . A computer processing system comprising:

a processing unit;

a display; and

non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which when executed by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to implement a method including:

accessing asset data in respect of a playable digital asset, the asset data defining one or more playable components, each playable component having a play duration and being playable for the play duration;

displaying an overview graphical user interface (GUI), wherein the overview GUI includes one or more previews, each preview corresponds to a playable component, and the one or more previews include a first preview that corresponds to a first playable component of the one or more playable components;

while displaying the overview GUI, displaying an editing GUI, wherein the editing GUI includes a view of the first playable component that is different to the first preview;

displaying a zoom level control;

detecting a first user interaction with the zoom level control to set a first zoom level; and

in response to detecting the first user interaction:

determining whether an active zoom mode is an overview zoom mode or an editor zoom mode; and

applying the first zoom level based on the active zoom mode,

wherein:

if the active zoom mode is determined to be

the overview zoom mode,

applying the first zoom level includes applying the first zoom level to the one or more previews displayed in the overview GUI without applying the first zoom level to the view of the first playable component displayed in the editing GUI; and

if the active zoom mode is determined to be

the editor zoom mode

applying the first zoom level includes applying the first zoom level to the view of the first playable component displayed in the editing GUI without applying the first zoom level to the one or more previews displayed in the overview GUI.

13 . The computer processing system of claim 12 , wherein the method further includes:
