Keeping objects aligned at the same time when changing their order in the timeline

I would like to see a feature that allows you to keep an object or multiple objects aligned at their same time when arranging them up or down in the timeline. For example, you could hold shift to keep the object aligned at 2:00 seconds when dragging it up or down.

I've attached a gif to illustrate. After I drag the objects up, I undo one of my actions which shifts the objects back to the left to where their timing was originally. Then I undo several more times to get them down to their original order.

As a side note, I would like to see undoing a reorder on the timeline send objects to their original position. Instead of having to undo a bunch of times and jump in between each individual object (as you can see in the gif).

  • Hi Griffingriffind,

    Thanks for sharing these details with us!

    I can see how an option to undo and reorder objects back to the original position on the timeline would be a time-saver. I've submitted your feedback to our developers so we'll update you with any news!

  • I second the hold shift to maintain timing idea. It can be weirdly nerve-wracking to reorder objects if you have complex timing on a slide!
