Table Of Contents
The Timeline Sort Order menu.
All Tools: Forces all tools currently in the Node Editor to be displayed in the Keyframes
Editor.
Hierarchy: Sorts with the most background layers at the top of the header, through to
the most foreground layers at the bottom, following the connections of the nodes in the
Node Editor.
Reverse: The opposite of Hierarchy, working backward from the last node in the Node
Editor toward the most background source node.
Names: Sorts by the alphabetical order of the nodes, starting at the top with the
beginning of the alphabet.
Start: Orders layers based on their starting point in the composition. Nodes that start
earlier in the Global project time are listed at the top of the header, while nodes that
start later are at the bottom.
Animated: Restricts the Timeline to showing animated layers only. This is an excellent
mode to use when adjusting the timing of animations on several nodes at once.
Guides
Guides are designed to help identify important frames in a project that might affect how you
keyframe animation. They may indicate the frame where a dragon breathes fire at a protagonist,
the moment that someone passes through a portal, or any other important frame in a
composition that you need to keep track of. Guides are created in the Timeline Ruler, where
they appear as a small marker with a line extending vertically through the graph view.
