Switching between Timeline views
Two types of views are available in the Timeline: Storyboard View and Timeline View.
Storyboard View
The fastest and simplest way to organize photos and video clips in a project is to use the
Storyboard View. Each thumbnail in the storyboard represents a photo, video clip, or a
transition. Thumbnails are shown in the order in which they appear in your project, and you
can drag thumbnails to rearrange them. The duration of each clip is shown at the bottom of
each thumbnail. In addition, you can insert transitions between video clips, and you can trim
a selected video clip in the Preview Window.

Timeline View
Timeline View gives you the most comprehensive display of the elements in your movie
project. It divides a project into separate tracks for video, overlay, title, voice, and music.
