Window Menus

Window: Timeline [CommandT]
Opens a floating window containing a graphical representation of animation timings for all objects in a scene. All animatable parameters of an object can be directly edited from within this window.

The Timeline window is divided into three main parts. From left to right they are the: object pane, options pane and graph pane. There is also a group of push-buttons in the upper left corner. The first button sets the graph pane to Bar mode. The second button changes it to Curve mode. The second pair of buttons can be used to constrain movement of function curve control points. The left button, if depressed, allows horizontal movement, i.e. you can change the time of a control point. The right button, if depressed, allows vertical movement, i.e. you can change the value of the parameter at that time. You can pan by shift-dragging in any pane. You can zoom by option-dragging in any pane. The window can be resized by dragging its bottom-right corner.
