Sequencer modes and display options

Use these toggles to change how the Sequencer behaves or appears.

Time Scale Mode	Enables Time Scale mode for retiming shots.
Sync Timeline	Synchronizes the Sequencer timeline with the Maya Time Slider.
Ripple Edit	Enables or disables Ripple Edit mode. When enabled, editing a shot affects the timing of adjacent shots.

Track Height	Cycles between preset track height sizes in the Sequencer view.
