Methods of working with tabbed timelines:
 Click any tab to switch to that timeline.
 Use the drop-down menu within any tab to switch that tab to display another
timeline from the Media Pool. Each tab’s drop-down menu shows all timelines within
that project, in alphabetical order, but a timeline can only be open in one tab or
stack at a time.
 Drag any tab left or right to rearrange the order of timeline tabs.
 Click any tab’s Close button to close that timeline and remove that tab.
Stacked Timelines
While tabbed browsing is turned on, an Add Timeline button appears on the far right of the tab
bar that enables you to stack two (or more) timelines one on top of another. This lets you have
two (or more) timelines open at the same time, making it easy to edit clips from one timeline
to another.
A good example of when this is useful is when you’ve created a timeline that contains a
stringout of selects from a particular interview. You can stack two Timeline Editors, one on top
of another, and then open the Selects Timeline at the top and the Timeline you’re editing into at
the bottom. With this arrangement, it’s easy to play through the top timeline to find clips you
want to use, to drag and drop into the bottom timeline to edit into your program.
Two timelines stacked on top of one another
To enable or disable stacked timelines:
 Click the Add Timeline button at the right of the Timeline tab bar.
The button for adding a stacked timeline
Once you’ve enabled stacked timelines, each timeline has its own tab bar and an orange
underline shows which timeline is currently selected.
At the right of each Timeline tab bar, a Close Timeline button appears next to the Add Timeline
button, which lets you close any timeline and remove that timeline browsing area from
the stack.
