Folders for Timeline Items

[Russell]

Hi,

I’m ending up with lots of images and text objects in some of my slides. I’d love the ability to put them in a “folder” on my timeline and then collapse them so they aren’t visually in the way as I work with the timeline.

Also, tiny correction - when opening a project, the dialogue is misspelled “openning” (two N’s).

Thanks,

Russell

Hi,

Thanks you for the spell correction, we’ll update it in the next release.
Regarding the timeline items, we’ll consider if there’s more requests from users. However, in current version, you can reduce the item spaces in some cases:

• If object time bars don’t overlap each other, you can drag to place them in one line.
• If objects have the same lifetime, entrance, exit effect, and don’t have any emphasis effect, you can select them on the canvas, right-click and select Group to group them.

Regards.

Hello,
I have a similar request.
I make videos with a lot of elements in the timeline. Despite my large screen, this causes me problems. The timeline becomes much too large.
Would it be possible to add the ability to hide one or more elements on a timeline? Perhaps in the form of a tab that can be unfolded?
It’s not a question of putting objects back on the same line when they don’t overlap. In fact, my problem is that sometimes a lot of objects overlap.
I also know that you can hide elements, but this doesn’t affect the timeline and its size.

Thanks for the consideration.

Regards.

I like to have several groups on on the timeline and then collapse the groups. This does help to tidy up the length of the timeline.
However, it seems I cannot expand one group at a time to work on it - it is all or nothing.

I would like to see the ability to expand and collapse individual groups.
Also, It would be nice to be able to click and drag the order of the timeline items.

I do not rely on the timeline for time but I do rely on it for layering objects back to front.
