It can always be scary! If you don't realize it is on, you might wonder why you aren't seeing everything on the slide.
This image shows a slide with Timeline Visualization off. You can't see the details in the overlapping objects.
This image shows the same slide with Timeline Visualization on. The playhead is at 4 seconds in the Timeline. Now, you only see the objects that will be visible at that time.
Hi Judy
This is an amazing tip! I had no idea about the timeline visualization button, this will make animated slides so much easier to edit. Thank you so much!
