| 1. A computer-implemented method in which at least one computer system accesses instructions from computer storage and executes
the instructions to perform steps comprising:
displaying a plurality of graphical elements in a storyboard, the plurality of graphical elements comprises a plurality of
image thumbnails;
displaying a sub-element identifier with an indication of a pan-and-zoom effect to execute upon execution of a first image
thumbnail, wherein displaying the indication includes displaying: (i) a first indication of the pan-and-zoom effect as a first
area demarcated within the first image thumbnail and (ii) a second indication of the pan-and-zoom effect as a second area
demarcated within the first image thumbnail;
receiving a command to display at least one graphical sub-element associated with the first image thumbnail, wherein receiving
the command includes: receiving a notification that a user has selected the sub-element identifier;
upon receipt of the command, replacing a display of the first image thumbnail in the storyboard by expanding the first image
thumbnail to display (i) a first graphical sub-element containing the first area demarcated by the first indication of the
pan-and-zoom effect and (ii) a second graphical sub-element containing the second area demarcated by the second indication
of the pan-and-zoom effect, the first and the second graphical sub-element each comprise a copy of the first image thumbnail;
implementing the pan-and-zoom effect such that execution of the first image thumbnail invokes execution of the pan-and-zoom
effect; and
concurrently displaying the plurality of image thumbnails in the storyboard as the pan-and-zoom effect is displayed after
expanding the first image thumbnail, wherein displaying the sub-element identifier comprises:
displaying the indication of the pan-and-zoom effect whereby the first area is expanded followed by a movement to the second
area where the second area is expanded upon execution of the first image thumbnail.
