The Studio timeline can hold multiple named timelines and nested precomps. The switcher renames/duplicates/saves/deletes timelines, and AE-style breadcrumb tabs navigate in and out of precomps.
Where: Studio timeline → header switcher / breadcrumb — Open the timeline header
Key ideas
- Multiple timelines: Switch, rename, duplicate, save, and delete named timelines.
- Precomp breadcrumbs: Nested compositions appear as breadcrumb tabs you click to drill in and back out.
Steps
- Open the timeline header.
- Use the switcher to pick or manage a timeline.
- Double-click into a precomp; use the breadcrumb to step back out.
Render and repair reliability
Recent fixes address composition finishing, attached precomp identity, image-sequence readiness/CORS, and initial frame rendering. Embedded document editors retain access to the render project. Video repair targets existing scenes and source reads instead of unnecessarily recreating shots or regenerating already available media.
- A dropped frame folder creates an image sequence with playback configuration rather than only a static frame.
- Wait for image sequences to settle before judging captured output; the render path now handles their readiness explicitly.
- Check the actual browser/desktop/GPU result after changing nested compositions; a source preview alone does not validate delivery.
- Caption work is bounded, and the editor reduces redundant generation and idle timeline rebuilding.
