Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for presenting a timeline interface in association with video content features. A user interface is rendered on a display, where the user interface includes selectable cast member components and a timeline component. The timeline component corresponds to a video content feature and visually segments it into scenes. A user selection of a particular selectable cast member component is received, and a subset of scenes in which a corresponding cast member performs is determined based at least in part on extrinsic data. The timeline component is updated to visually indicate the subset of scenes.
