Timeline Tab 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 tracks and, if audio tracks are displayed, you can hide groups and layers.
All of these display options are controlled by the row of buttons in the lower-left corner
of the Timeline tab.
