Can you resize timeline?

I thought I had done this in the past but it seems that I can't resize the timeline. I've added an image to show you, but the transform section is almost the whole size of my screen with the actual timeline is about 1/5 of the screen. Is there a way to maybe reverse the sizes so there is more timeline space?

    Hi Fabricio,

    I got your message. I opened an older version of After Effects and, even there, you cannot expand the timeline in the manner you indicated. Sorry about the frustration.

     

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    I was having the same issue, and found that the resize curser does work if you click on the spots marked below.

      resize individual columns, not the whole left side

      Unless you feel like you need all of those properties visible, you can hide several of those columns.

      Right-click in the title bar of the columns you don't want to see, and you can choose to hide them.

      This flyout also gives you the option to see the full list, and can check/uncheck columns within that.

        Thank you. This isn't exactly what I wanted but I was able to shorten the longer side enough to suit my needs.

        Hit the v key to get the arrow cursor.  Put it where "too long" and "too short" join.  A two-headed arrow appears. Click-hold-dragto the left.

        There is no resize cursor that pops up so I can't resize it.
