Introduction

The timeline plays a vital role in synchronising your voiceover with your media files and carrying out various media- and block-related tasks.

The timeline consists of three tracks:

Voice Over Track:

The Voice Over Track is where your voice blocks from the script editor appear.

Image and Video Track:

Images and videos added from your local storage or the Stock Library appear in the Image and Video Track.

Background Music Track:

The Background Music Track displays any audio or background music files uploaded from your local storage or the Stock Library.
It is important to note that assets in the timeline are automatically left-aligned and cannot be freely placed with gaps in between.
To address this limitation, placeholder blocks and silence audio tracks can be used.

For projects that contain only audio, the timeline and preview panel are hidden by default. However, they can be manually expanded or collapsed as needed.

The timeline and preview panel automatically expand when media files are added or when creating a video project.

Expand and Collapse

• The bottom timeline can either be collapsed or expanded.
• For projects with only text, the timeline will be hidden by default.
  
   

Zoom

To change the size of the timeline, you can either use the zoom slider present on it or use the following shortcuts:

• Hover over the timeline and use the scroll function with a mouse
• Pinch and zoom when using a trackpad

Rearrange Voice Over and Media Blocks

It is also possible to rearrange the timeline's voice and media blocks by dragging and dropping them.

Delete Voice Over and Media Blocks

Additionally, you can delete any voice or media blocks by right-clicking and using the Delete option or the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + Del or Cmd + Del.
