TIMELINE WINDOW

	Selection Tools Select individual clips, resize clips, etc. Select whole track for dragging. Propagate changes on timeline Edit just one boundary slice a clip (pieces may be deleted) Zoom timeline
Lower-left corner The Timeeline may also be zoomed in or out using the slider and icons in lower-left corner of the Timeline window. A traditional scroll-bar along the bottom edge of the window allows scrolling in time if needed.
	Timeline Edits By clicking and dragging the boundary between tracks in the timeline display (yellow rectangle and arrow shown at left), you can enlarge the track display vertically. The particular benefit of this is with audio tracks, where you can see the waveform, or (if you click the "Show Clip Volume" icon, the second icon in the second row, cirled at left) the output volume level of the track, shown as a horizontal line on the right side of the graphic. Creating a sound fade As shown at left, you may insert breakpoints in the volume curve (ctrl+click on the line). They appear as a small diamond (circled at above right) which can then be independently dragged to reduce volume at the end of the movie (as shown at left). Video tracks have a similar feature (just visible in the screen-snap here), but the "volume" is replaced by "intensity" (sort of a visual volume control).

EFFECT CONTROLS WINDOW



Effect Edits If you select a clip in the Timeline, you can view details of the clip and it's transitions in the Effect Edit window. Using this window you can adjust dissolves, enable and add motion animations to a still clip, and otherwise "fine tune" the clip's behavior. You may have to click the nearly invisible "reveal" icon (circled in yellow) in order to see some of the detail.
