Getting to Know Motion

Timing Pane

At some point in most projects, you want to view the contents of your composition
represented as a graph over time. This may be to compare when two objects appear or
disappear, or when an effect begins or changes. You may want to add or remove
objects in your project at a particular point in time to observe or modify how different
parameters of different effects occur. You may also want to view your audio waveforms
to allow visual events to synchronize with your soundtrack.

All of this can be accomplished in the Timing pane, which appears at the bottom of the
Canvas.
