Building a Composition
To rearrange panels:
Drag the panel heading to a different location along the Timeline window. When the panel
outline appears where you want the panel to appear, release the mouse.
A gray outline appears when you drag a panel (left). When you release, panels are rearranged (right).
Note: All layer switches move together—you can move the entire switch panel to a different
position between other panels, but you can’t rearrange the switches within the panel.
To change the width of a panel:
Drag the raised vertical bar left or right to set the new width. If the panel does not have a
raised vertical bar at its right edge, it cannot be resized.
Understanding the time graph
The time graph portion of the Timeline window contains a time ruler, markers to indicate
specific times and current work area, and duration bars for the layers in your composition.
Use the time graph to adjust the range of time shown in the Timeline window, and to
specify a range of time to render when creating or previewing a movie.
