Story window

The Story window lets you assemble scenes by combining and manipulating elements such as characters, lights, cameras, audio, and animation along a timeline, much like a non-linear editor.

To access the Story window, select Window > Story from the menu bar.

The Story window is made up of the Action and Edit Timelines, which look similar but are used for different purposes. For example:

  • Use the Action timeline to build the scene using tracks and clips.
  • Use the Edit timeline rearrange the order of shot clips to create camera switches or editing effects after you have arranged your scene suing the Action timeline.

You can switch between these two timelines by clicking the Story Mode icon at the top left corner of the Story window.
