Mini-Timeline
The mini-Timeline lies just above the transport controls and below the Canvas. This control
provides an at-a-glance look at where selected objects fit into your overall project. The
mini-Timeline also has a playhead to indicate which frame you are viewing as well as In
point and Out point markers to identify the play range. The length of the mini-Timeline
represents the entire duration of the project.

You can drag the playhead through the mini-Timeline to scrub your project, or to jump
to a specific point in time. In the mini-Timeline, you can also change the play range of
the entire project as well as move, trim, or slip a selected object.
