Thumbnail Timeline
Hidden by default, the Thumbnail timeline can be opened by clicking the Clips button in the UI
Toolbar and appears underneath the Node Editor when it’s open. The Thumbnail timeline
shows you every clip in the current Timeline, giving you a way to navigate from one clip to
another when working on multiple compositions in your project and providing an interface for
creating and switching among multiple versions of compositions and resetting the current
composition, when necessary.
The Thumbnail timeline lets you navigate the Timeline and manage versions of compositions
Media Pool
In the Fusion page, the Media Pool continues to serve its purpose as the repository of all media
you’ve imported into your project. This makes it easy to add additional clips to your
compositions simply by dragging the clip you want from the Media Pool into the Node Editor.
The media you add appears as a new MediaIn node in your composition, ready to be integrated
into your node tree however you need.
