Arranging clips in the Timeline
Timeline overview
The Timeline graphically represents your movie project as video and audio clips arranged in vertically stacked tracks.
When you capture video from a digital video device, the clips appear sequentially as they occur. The Timeline uses a
time ruler to display the components of your movie and their relationship to each other over time. You can trim and
add scenes, indicate important frames with markers, add transitions, and control how clips are blended or
superimposed.
The zoom controls in the Timeline allow you to zoom out to see your entire video, or zoom in to see clips in more
detail. You can also change how the clips appear in the tracks, and resize the tracks and the header area.
