Abstract

The paper discusses the interface needs for the emergence of new authoring tools for the creation of multimedia documents. We think that it is possible to break down the specify-and-run process of most existing tools to have more direct editing functions close to a “wysiwyg” approach. After identifying the requirements of direct editing for multimedia documents, we describe an authoring environment based on a set of synchronized views and we illustrate its usefulness through many authoring situations
