The Timeline

In the Timeline you see the chronological sequence of your show. It informs you when an object will be replayed.

Timeline_new

Images, text, collages and videos can have different ways to present them. So can images get camera pans, movement paths, transitions and text. The Timeline shows you what kind of animation an object has been assigned.

There are:

	Transition
	Text without animation
	Text with animation
	Image effect
	Movement path
	Camera pan

You can also see the file name and duration in the Timeline. The sliders in the bottom-right corner allow you to adjust how much you wish to see.

By clicking the icon the context menu for the object will open. You can use a right-click on the object instead to achieve the same.

Menu_Image

During the replay of a slideshow in Layout Designer a blue line in the Timeline marks the current replay position.

Timeline2

This line "runs" with the show. You can move it after you paused the show.

You can change additional settings for the Timeline under Extras -> Program settings -> Timeline.

Dlg_ProgSettings_Timeline

Here you can specify the snapping behavior and the look of the Timeline.

If you want to position an object exactly below another object or at a certain point in time the snapping option can be very helpful.

Hint

If you deactivated an image of your show (Show object deactivated), it will not be displayed anymore in the Timeline. The Timeline displays only objects that are supposed to be replayed. If you want to reactivate an image you can do this in the Image list or in the Storyboard.
