Getting To Know Motion

Display Options

As with the Layers tab, you can choose to show or hide effects such as masks, filters,
and behaviors. Additionally, the Timeline lets you display keyframes. You can also
choose to display audio objects and, if audio objects are displayed, you can hide visual
objects. All of these display options are controlled by the row of buttons in the lower-
left corner of the Timeline.

Masks, behaviors, and filters can be displayed as objects in the Timeline, just as they are
displayed in the Layers tab. Showing or hiding effects in the list does not control
whether the effect appears in the Canvas.

m

Click the Show/Hide Masks button.

To show behaviors in the Timeline:

m

used to show any keyframes that exist for the object.
