To display the Timeline, do one of the following:
m
In the Toolbar, click the Timing icon (in the upper-right corner of the interface).
m
Drag the drag handle directly below the Play button in the transport controls.
m
Choose Window > Layouts > Cinema.
m
Press F6.
Cinema layout is ideal for use with Cinema displays. This layout moves the Inspector to
the right side of the interface and shows the Timeline and Layers tab. If the workflow
on a certain project requires that you spend a lot of time in the Timeline and Inspector,
this is the recommended layout. This choice is not available unless your computer is
attached to an Apple Cinema Display.
Note: To change interface layouts, choose Window > Layouts, then choose Standard,
Alternate, or Cinema from the submenu. You can also create and save your own layout
arrangements. For more information, see Chapter 1, “Getting to Know Motion,” in
Motion Help.
The Timeline Layer List
The Timeline Layer list mirrors the Layers list in the Project pane. Like the Layers list, you
can select, reposition, lock, group and ungroup, and rename objects and layers. You
can also add and delete layers.
Also like the Layers list, the filter, behavior, and mask icons appear next to the object
name in the list.
