Timeline Control Quick Tips

Objective: Cover some tips to make working with timeline easier.

In Timeline, under the controls, we have three buttons. The first one is Mix Mode. This allows us to move the animation tracks around individually or blend them together.

Next is the Ripple mode. Ripple mode groups all the tracks together and moves them as one.

Lastly is the replace mode. This will all you to drop in an animation anywhere. If you drop on another track, it will split it.

Next, if we click the line beside the record button we can see the curves of the tracks.

If you get zoomed in to far inside Timeline but want to focus on a certain track, all you have to do is select it and hit F. It will frame the whole track.

To frame all tracks just hit A.

If we are still zoomed in all the way and we want to scroll to the left or right, we can either hold Alt and click and drag or Mouse Wheel to move.

We can right click on the White marker and either insert keys or select certain clips.

If there is a big gap between two clips and you want them together, select both of them and right click on the track and select tile.

These are some tips to help make working with Timeline easier! Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day!
