Hide the main timeline

To expand your video display, you can hide the main timeline after a few seconds of inactivity.

How much of the main timeline is hidden depends on whether you view video in live or playback mode. In live mode, the entire main timeline is hidden. In playback mode, all but the timeline tracks are hidden. The main timeline is fully shown as soon as you interact with your computer again.

  1. On the global toolbar, select Settings and more, and then Settings.

  2. In the Settings window, select Timeline.

  3. Choose when to hide the main timeline:

    • Hide the timeline during inactivity - for all views except Smart Wall views. Default value is never.

    • Hide the timeline in Smart Wall views - for Smart Wall views. Default value is after 5 seconds.
