Timeline View
This screen can be reached from the Main screen, by clicking on
the Show Timeline button.
This timeline functionality is mostly relating to display objects. If you want to join
multiple video or audio clips together in sequential order, please see the Input File Join
functionality on the Main screen.
Controls on the Timeline View
- Colored Bars - Shows the Display Objects and Timeline Segments in the
project. The colors are cycled to distinguish each new segment or object. If
Segment Details is checked, and the Timeline View window has focus, an
information box will follow the mouse pointer to show the main details of
each segment. Double-clicking on a segment will open its
Display Object Properties box. Right-clicking
on a segment will show a menu of options to apply to the segment or object.
- Zoom In / Out - Zooms the timeline in for more precision, or out for a wider view
- Reset Zoom - Sets the zoom level so that the entire project length is displayed
in the timeline view.
- Add - Creates a new timeline segment at the project time of your choosing. Changes
made at that point will then only apply to the project from that point forward.
- Edit - Opens the Timeline Segment Editor, where you
can change the selected segment's starting time and select which parameters are altered by it.
- Shift - Shifts the selected timeline segment, and all following segments, forward or
backward by a user-specified amount. The preceding segment, if any, will grow or shrink
by the amount of the shift.
- Remove - Removes the selected timeline segment and any changes that had been made during it.
This can also be used to remove entire display objects from the project.
- Segment Details - Shows an information box when the mouse pointer is over the timeline
bar area.
- Set Project Length - Sets the project to a specific time length of your choosing.
