Show/Hide Specific Tracks
When you use the timeline, sometimes you may need to often show/hide certain tracks. In this section, you will learn how to show/hide tracks for a more efficient editing with the Object-related Track button.

With the Object-related Track button you may show, in the timeline, only the picked items in order to prevent an over-spanned timeline. This method applies to all the items in the Scene Manager.
-
Load a project with various items.
-
Press F3 or click the
Show Timeline button to show the timeline.
- Press the Object-related Track button.
-
Pick a character in the working area. The timeline will then only show the name of the character and its track buttons.

If you wish to show more than one item on the Timeline, then you may use the steps below.
