Dope Sheet editor

The Dope Sheet lets you edit event and sound synchronization and timing.

Use the Dope Sheet to manipulate key times, represented as colored rectangles in the view area. The blocks represent integer time units along the horizontal axis. The vertical axis represents the items currently loaded into the Dope Sheet outliner.

The Dope Sheet editor contains menu bar, icons, outliner, and the view area.
