It’s great that they have a training session to discuss all these mystifying issues. Too bad Adobe has no decent documentation so that one can only learn these basics by sitting through an hour-long audio session in which people speak slowly. The title “The Time-line Demystified” is an admission by Adobe that they implemented the timeline in a mystifying way that breaks any notion of usability and makes even basic things hard to do if one doesn’t listen through a talk such as this.

I have trouble bringing up my timeline, though once I’m in it, I’m better. How do you pull it up if part of it is hiding? I’ve tried Windows>Timeline and I don’t have the option in View I’ve seen in the forums. I have Cap 5.5. Right now I have the part of my timeline that is the audio I just recorded but not what I did the other day. Sigh….any clues?

If you are taking suggestions for this workshop (I’ll definitely be there), I’d love to know more about syncing with Powerpoint slides.

Thanks!
