This shows several items in the Timeline.

This shows the same items as they appear in the Canvas.

Since the playhead in the Timeline mirrors the playhead in the Canvas, you can use the
navigation, marking, and editing controls in the Canvas to navigate in the Timeline, and
vice versa.

To make the Timeline window active, do one of the following:

m

Click in the Timeline window.

m

Press Command-3.

Note: To work in the Timeline, the first thing you have to do is open a sequence. If you
don’t have any sequences in your project, you need to create one. For more
information, see Volume II, Chapter 5, “Working With Projects, Clips, and Sequences.”
