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.
