The easiest way to access "Timeline" mode is via the "Tab"
key (you can also click on the corresponding link via the
left-hand border of the photo bar).
You have four tracks in total:

on the first track there are photos or videos

the second track is the audio track for narration and sound effects for individual photos and
videos
All audio material that you add to the second track directly below your photos and videos will be
attached to the corresponding photo and video material. If a picture or video already has sound material
attached to it (sound-in-picture support), it will be made visible in this track automatically.

on the third track you'll find the titles (that are created via the text input of StoryMaker or via the
title editor)

the fourth track is suitable for background music. The audio material of this audio track can be
moved within a project any way you like.
The objects on the tracks can be re-sized with their lower edge "object handles". Move the mouse over
one of the lower corners of the object until the mouse pointer becomes a double arrow. You can now
stretch the object as much as you like. An object can be faded in or out with the handles to the top of the
object. This also applies to text and audio objects in the timeline.
Cut slideshow or objects
A simple cut can also be achieved by pressing the "T" shortcut key, or by using the symbol to the right of
the transport console.
Hint
: Cuts are always made at the point where the red line is located.
The arrow next to the cut button opens a selection menu with the following options:
Split object ("T")
: This command splits the object at the position of the start marker to produce two separate objects. You
can also just press "T" on the keyboard for this action.
Remove object beginning
: This command cuts the object at the point where the start marker is positioned and deletes all material
that precedes the start marker simultaneously.
Remove object end
: This command cuts the object at the point where the start marker is positioned and deletes all material
that comes after the start marker simultaneously.
Split slideshow
: This command splits the slideshow at the position of the start marker into two independent slideshows.
Both appear in the menu underneath the preview window in the "slideshow" area.
