Updated June 21, 2026Timeline
The timeline arranges visual and audio clips over time. Video tracks composite from lower to higher tracks; audio tracks mix into the sequence output.
Track controls
Visual tracks expose visibility, lock, targeting, naming, and color controls. Audio tracks expose mute, solo, lock, targeting, naming, and color controls.
Selecting clips
Click a clip to select it. Modifier-assisted selection can build a multi-selection. Clicking an empty timeline area clears the selection. The Inspector follows the active selection.
Playback and navigation
Use the transport controls to play, pause, step frames, or jump between edits. Timeline zoom is centered around the editing context so fine cuts and full-sequence navigation do not require separate views.
Visual feedback
Video clips display a clip identity and thumbnail treatment when available. Audio clips display waveform information when it has been generated. Selected clips and trim edges use distinct focus states.
