Parts of the Timeline

The above image shows the various parts of the timeline:

  • Time Tick Marks

    At the top of the timeline, there are tick marks which designate time.

    In the image above, they are 1s, 2s, 3s, etc.
    the "s" designates seconds, meaning 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, etc.

    To zoom in on the time, use the slider on the very bottom left of the window.

  • Scrubber

    The Scrubber is the gray triangle with the red line coming down from it.

    This defines where in the presentation you are currently editing.

  • Clips

    The gray box with the icon and clip name (in the above case, named "Screen Recording"), is a clip.

    Since the left side of the clip starts at time 0, and ends at 7.5, when you play the presentation, the clip will start playing when the Scrubber passes time 0, and stops playing with the Scrubber passes time 7.5.

  • Markers

    You can add Markers to the timeline by using the Markers : Add option in the Edit menu

    Markers show up in the header of the timeline.
