Customizing the Track Display
Motion offers several different ways to display object bars in the track area of the Timeline.
You can display just the name of the object, which reduces the height of the track, allowing
you to see many tracks at once. You can choose to show the name of the object plus a
thumbnail image, which provides quick visual feedback about the content of the object.
Or you can display a track as a filmstrip, a series of sequential thumbnails that provide
visual feedback about the content of an object over time.
