Timebar

The "Timebar" is the area above the Time Track Panel, the Graphs Panel and optionally at the bottom of the Canvas Window.

The "Timebar" indicates :

• time as a frame ruler and you click and drag within it to scrub your timeline.
• display the keyframes you have set, their activation state and the selected one (not in the Graphs Panel's Timebar).

To change the scale of the Timeline put your mousepointer over the grey frame ruler and use your mouse wheel to zoom in or out.

The Timebar at the bottom of the Canvas Window is optionally displayed by toggling the button.
