Chapter 9 Timeline Basics 111

Opening and Closing Sequences in the Timeline

In the Timeline and Canvas, tabs represent sequences. Opening a sequence opens the

Timeline and the Canvas windows simultaneously (if they’re not open already). If the

Timeline and Canvas are already open, a newly opened sequence appears in its own

tab on top of any other sequence tabs.

To open a sequence in the Timeline and Canvas, do one of the following:

m Double-click a sequence in the Browser.

m Select the sequence in the Browser, then press Return.

m Control-click the sequence in the Browser, then choose Open Timeline from the

shortcut menu.

m Select the sequence in the Browser, then choose View > Sequence in Editor.

The sequence opens in the Timeline and Canvas windows.

To select a sequence in the Timeline:

m Click the sequence’s tab.

To close a sequence in the Timeline, do one of the following:

m With the sequence’s tab selected in the Timeline, choose File > Close Tab.

m Control-click the sequence’s tab, then choose Close Tab from the shortcut menu.

m Press Control-W.

When you close a sequence’s tab in the Timeline, the corresponding tab in the Canvas

closes, and vice versa. Closing the Canvas window closes the Timeline window.

However, closing the Timeline window by pressing Command-W does not close the

Canvas window.
