Move objects in the Timeline track area

Move an object when you want it to begin and end at a different point in the Timeline.

Move an object in the Timeline

In the Timeline track area, drag a bar left or right to move it in time.
A tooltip appears, identifying the new In and Out points as you drag the bar. A delta symbol (triangle) indicates the amount of change in frames or timecode.

Move an object and snap it to neighboring objects

Do one of the following:

Click to select the Snapping button in the upper-right corner of the Timeline, then drag a bar in the track area.
Press Shift as you drag the item in the Timeline.

Vertical lines appear in the track, corresponding to the In and Out points of other timebars. The active bar snaps to these lines as you drag.

Move an object to the playhead position

You can move a timebar to a new location in its track by using the Move Selected In Point or Move Selected Out Point command. This command shifts the position of the selected object to the current playhead position. You can also use this command to move and align multiple objects in one operation.

Select the object to move.
Shift-click to select multiple objects, if desired.
Place the playhead at the point in the Timeline where you want to move the object.
Choose Mark > Move Selected In Point (or press Shift-Left Bracket) to align the object’s beginning to the playhead, or choose Mark > Move Selected Out Point (or press Shift-Right Bracket) to align the end of the object to the playhead position.

Move an object to a specific frame

In the Timeline, select the object (or objects) to move, then type the number of the frame (or timecode) where you want to move the object.
A value field appears, displaying the number you typed.
Press Return.
The object’s In point moves to the specified frame number. If you selected more than one object, they all move to the specified frame number.

Move an object a specific number of frames

Do one of the following:

To move an object forward a specific number of frames, select the object, type a plus sign (+) followed by the number of the frames you want to move, then press Return.
To move an object backward a specific number of frames, select the object, type a minus sign (–) followed by the number of the frames you want to move, then press Return.
