Scrubbing the timeline : actual view ?

Hello,

I think it would be great if you could scrub the timeline in Storyline.

Being used to Flash, I find having all object at once confusing (and actually I don't see the point apart from a visual mess).

The problem is you can't see what you actullay get under playhead unless you play your scene.

Could you consider having a mode where you only see on stage what's under the playhead ? I recently had a busy timeline with many speech bubbles and I spend my time hiding/unhiding layer to get everything in place.

What do you think ?

  • I stumbled on this thread looking to activate this ability... I am happy to learn that the name of what I was looking for is called "scrubbing"... 

    Is scrubbing available yet?

      Heather - Yes it is an option / button that is actually not too obvious. You need to select the Timeline Visualization button which is in the top right corner of the Timeline section of Storyline. The main window will then update as the Playhead is moved along the timeline!
