When you select an object in the Timeline, its bar becomes highlighted. When the Timeline
is in Filmstrip mode, the filmstrip frames are highlighted with a white border. See
Customizing the Track Display for more information on how to set Timeline view modes.
Displaying the Timing Pane on a Second Monitor
You can show the Timeline on a second display, providing a larger workspace for
manipulating the timing of objects. For more information, see Viewing the Canvas or
Timing Pane on a Second Display.
Timeline Layers List
The Timeline layers list mirrors the Layers list in the Project pane and displays your project
objects (groups, layers, filters, behaviors, masks, and so on) and their stacking order.
Keyframes applied to an object can also be displayed. In the Timeline layers list, you can
reorder objects. This change is immediately reflected in the Layers list in the Project pane.
You can also lock tracks to prevent further editing of those tracks and disable entire tracks
to omit them from view in the Canvas.
Naming Objects in the Timeline Layers List
You can rename any object in Motion. This can be helpful if you use more than one
version of an asset, using multiple cameras, lights, or rigs, or if you want to organize
elements in named groups. Masks, shapes, particles, and other content you generate in
Motion are created with generic names. Renaming them allows you to better manage
and keep track of them while you work.
To rename an object
1 In the Timeline layers list, double-click the name of the object.
2 Enter a new name in the editable text field.
3 Press Return or Tab.
