Resizing the Timeline

If you need more space to manipulate your animation channels and keyframes, there are several methods to resize the Timeline window.

To resize the Timeline:

• Choose Window | Palettes | Expand Timeline, or press Shift + F11. This quickly rearranges the screen layout to increase the vertical size of the Timeline and decrease the size of the viewports. Choose this command again to return to the default screen layout.
• If your monitor has extra room between the viewports and the bottom menu area, choose Preferences  | Monitors, and then set the Menu Height to a higher number. This provides more space for the Timeline.
• If you have multiple monitors, you can configure them so that the Timeline is full-screen on one monitor while you work on views and controls in another window. See Setting Preferences.
• Click the Timeline tab to display the Timeline, and then click and drag the tab to detach it from the bottom of the screen as a floating window. You can then resize the Timeline window as you would any other window. To return it to the default location, double-click the Timeline tab or drag it back to the bottom of the screen and release the mouse. It snaps back into place.
