Can't see timeline

I know I must be missing something stupid here, but I cannot, for the life of me, get my timeline to show up. I have clicked on "view/timeline" and a checkmark is present there. I have tried clicking on the little arrow bar thingy above the slide, that doesn't work. I'm in edit mode... what else can it be?

I have tried it with several different files. Any ideas about what I might be missing?

Hi Noellet,

Try the keyboard shortcut CTRL+ALT+T

If that doesn't work and you can see the "Time-line" text in your workspace, try double-clicking it.

Keep in mind that you might have inadvertently "dragged" the time-line to some other part of your workspace, so it may not be present at the top in the default location, but may be somewhere else within the Captivate window.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Larry.

Duh, I had somehow dragged the edit space overtop of the timeline. I thought I was going crazy for a minute! Thanks again.

I can't find my timeline at all yet when it goes to miniature size on the desktop the timeline is there on the bottom.  I am on a Mac laptop and the screen is for a large screen, therefore, I can't scroll down to see it at all.  I've done the CTRL CMD T and that doesn't work, I've change the workspace size to no avail.

I just updated Adobe Effects.

Please, this is an older thread. Which version do you use (look under Help, About Captivate)? Are you working in the Newbie UI which is the default one? In that case the timeline is collapsed at the bottom. Double-click the Title bar and it will open. You can resize the timeline in the height but in the newbie UI it is fixed in that bottom docking station.
