The Studio timeline header holds the playback transport, the select/razor tools, snapping, and the time-axis zoom — the controls you use constantly while animating.
Where: Top bar → Timeline (Studio) → header — Open the Studio timeline
Key ideas
- Transport: Play/pause (Space), skip to start/end (Home/End), step to prev/next keyframe (, / .), and loop (L).
- Select vs Razor: V selects and moves layers/keyframes; C is the razor that splits a layer/track at the cursor.
- Snap & zoom: Snap aligns keyframes/trims to nearby keyframes; zoom the time axis with ⌘- / ⌘+ and fit with ⌘0.
Steps
- Open the Studio timeline.
- Use Space/Home/End and , / . to move the playhead.
- Switch V (select) and C (razor) as needed.
- Toggle Snap and zoom the time axis (⌘- / ⌘+ / ⌘0).
