Question 6

2.4 Timeline

Accepted Answer

Flixier comes with a powerful non-linear timeline that enables you to easily edit video content.

Timeline clip ordering

Videos are created on the timeline, moving from left to right. This is where you arrange and edit your footage, audio clips, titles and more.

The timeline is organized into tracks, where media on the top tracks cover thes ones below.

Clips on the same track can overlap each-other. In this situation, to bring one of them in-front right click it and select Bring to Front ${vimeo}

The Flixier timeline settings can be found under the Tracks menu on the lower left of the screen or through keyboard and mouse shortcuts in some cases.

Snap - this system helps you align clips in the timeline relative to other clips or to the play head. Click on the blue Snap button to enable disable it.
Timeline Zoom - hover the mouse over the timeline, hold down CTRL and scroll the mouse wheel. OR open the tracks Menu and slide the zoom slider OR use pinch to zoom on a track-pad.
