Using the Timeline 25
To resize the Timeline, do one of the following:
•
If the Timeline is docked to the main application window, drag the bar separating the Timeline
from the application window.
•
If the Timeline is not docked to the main application window, drag the lower right corner
(Windows) or the size box in the lower right corner (Macintosh).
Moving the playhead
The playhead moves through the Timeline to indicate the current frame displayed on the Stage.
The Timeline header shows the frame numbers of the animation. To display a frame on the Stage,
you move the playhead to the frame in the Timeline.
When you’re working with a large number of frames that can’t all appear in the Timeline at once,
you can move the playhead along the Timeline to easily locate the current frame.
To go to a frame:
•
Click the frame’s location in the Timeline header, or drag the playhead to the desired position.
To center the Timeline on the current frame:
•
Click the Center Frame button at the bottom of the Timeline.
