Re: [FCP-L] Are there commands in Motion for the Timeline?

Thanks to all who replied. I hadn't thought to use F6 to switch to the timeline...I just have to hit it twice.

Thanks again,
Mike

There are 9 tabs across the board (not counting the 4 sub-tabs of the Inspector), each are opened with command 1 thru 9 respectively... as noted in the Window menu btw.

The Inspector-tabs are F1 thru 4.

But the way Motion GUI is designed (by far the best of all Studio apps IMO) one shouldn�t actually need to see the entire timeline much, since there is the mini-timeline for probably 80% or more of what one will generally need, which also reduces screen clutter considerably.
