Timeline

The Timeline is the primary composition tool. It arranges clips in time across multiple tracks and displays the playhead position.

Anatomy of the Timeline

Tracks

• Each screen can have an unlimited number of tracks.
• Tracks are stacked with Track 1 at the bottom (rendered first, lowest layer).
• Click + Track to add a new track above the current stack.
• Use Insert track above to add a track directly above a specific existing track instead of at the top (new in 3.2).
• Add a Data Track to emit keyframe values over OSC / UDP / TCP / Art-Net / DMX or drive Operator Control readouts — see Data Tracks (new in 3.2).
• Drag the track header to reorder.

Duplicating a composition copies its full content, including every track (3.2 fixes an earlier case where some tracks were dropped). Right-click a composition tab and choose Duplicate.

Transitions
