User Manual

To create a guide, do the following:
 Right-click at a frame in the Timeline Ruler of the Keyframes Editor and choose Add
Guide from the contextual menu.
The most important attribute of a guide is its position. For it to add value, a guide must be
placed on the frame you intended it to be on. Hovering the cursor over a guide displays a
tooltip with its current frame position. If it is on the wrong frame, you can drag it along the
Timeline to reposition it.
Jumping to Guides
Double-clicking a guide jumps the playhead to that guide’s position.
Renaming Guides
By default, a guide uses the frame number it’s on as its only name, but you can give it a more
descriptive name to go along with the frame number, making it easier to identify. To rename a
guide, right-click at the top of the guide and choose Rename Guide from the contextual menu.
Enter a name in the dialog and click OK.
The Guide contextual menu is accessed by right-
clicking on the top of the guide.
Show Guide List
Guides can be used to jump to specific locations in a composition using the Guide List. If you
right-click the top of a guide to bring up the contextual menu, you can choose Show Guide List,
or press Shift-G, to display the Guide List dialog. The Guide List is a floating dialog that will
remain on top of the main window until closed.
The Guide List shows all the current guides in the composition, listed according to their position
in time along with any custom name you’ve given them. If you double-click a guide’s name from
the list, the playhead jumps to the guide’s location.
The Guide List dialog allows you to navigate
through a composition using guides.
