Using Presets in a Timeline

Presets in a timeline continue to be updated by the preset manager, so any timelines using presets are immediately updated when their referenced preset is updated.

Drag and Drop Editing

To add a preset to a timeline drag from the preset manager into the editor. Dragging onto a track will include the pins for the parent and all child tracks. To drag a preset for an entire mix into the editor you must drop the preset onto the mix track. This will add all of the preset keyframes stored into the parent mix and child layers.

Preset Keyframes

Preset keyframes are shown as a hollow square rather than a normal keyframe icon (See Image above). These types of keyframes can not be edited unless detached from the preset. If a keyframe is detached from a preset it will not be updated by any changes to the preset. To detach a keyframe from a preset right click and select ‘Detach From Preset’.

Preset Timelines

It is also possible to create a special type of timeline that uses only Presets, and simplifies the timeline creation process. Preset Timelines
