Managing Customized Timeline Views

Project window. You can save, rename, and copy multiple views.

Your Avid editing application saves the Timeline information from the Timeline Fast menu with

each view.

You can select alternate views from the View menu located in the Timeline bottom toolbar. The

Timeline view is labeled Untitled until you name and save a customized Timeline view.

You can replace a Timeline view with a different view, while keeping the same name. You can

also restore the default Timeline setup at any time.

You can also change the name of a Timeline view or delete a view from the Settings list in the
