TIMELINE MENU The Timeline menu applies specifically to the contents of timeline windows. It is
only available when a timeline window is selected.
Click Jumps to Time Deselect this option to keep the time position stationary while manipulating
cues and tween points. The state of this mode is reflected by the color of the
current time indicator.
◆ HINT: Turn off this option to use the current time indicator as a ruler for
aligning cues and tween points. See “Snap” on page 130 for more details.
Add Play / Pause Control Cue Adds a Control cue at the current time and selected layer. When reached
during playback, the cue will perform its programmed action. See “Control
Cue” on page 193 for full details.
◆ HINT: When using Control cues, dedicate a layer rather than mixing them
with other cues. This makes them easier to find and prevents them from
getting obscured by other cues.
Adding and Removing Layers Choose “Append Layer” to append a layer to the timeline, or choose “Insert
Layer” to insert a layer in front of the current layer. Choose “Delete Layer” to
delete the current layer. A layer containing cues can not be deleted.
Layer Settings Opens a dialog box that allows you to rename the layer as well as set various
layer attributes. See “Layer Name and Attributes” on page 103 for more
details.
