TIMELINE + MOTION

Program every frame. Leave room for the live moment.

Build synchronized media sequences, production actions and animated layer behavior within one visual timeline. Rehearse precisely, follow external timecode or pause for the operator when the event requires it.

Multi-track production

Media and show actions share the same clock.

Route tracks to nodes, channels and layers, then position media and operational cues together in one synchronized sequence.

01

Routed tracks

Direct timeline tracks to the node, output channel and layer required by the production.

02

Precision transport

Play, pause, stop, scrub, seek and jump to defined positions during programming or rehearsal.

03

Control cues

Place placemarks, pauses, loops, goto instructions, remote triggers and breakout points on the timeline.

04

External clock

Follow supported LTC or Art-Net timecode when another system owns the production clock.

05

Reusable motion presets

Save frequently used animation behavior for faster and more consistent programming.

06

Operator time displays

Keep elapsed time, remaining time, current position and total running time visible.

Keyframed layer animation

Animate the layer—not just the clip.

Keyframe position, size, zoom, pan, crop, opacity, audio, rotation and three-dimensional orientation. Scrub to any point, inspect the calculated state and continue editing without leaving the workspace.

  • Geometry and scale
  • Crop, zoom and pan
  • Opacity and audio
  • X, Y and Z rotation
  • Anchors and pivots
  • Curves and easing

Clip behavior

Timing, routing and transitions stay with the timeline asset.

Set in and out points, transitions, loop behavior and routing for the timeline instance without modifying the original source file.

The sequence can wait for the room

Loop. Pause. Break out. Continue when the production is ready.
