Timeline

In animation, a timeline refers to the breakdown of frames sequenced over time. Timelines are used in both digital and traditional animation, and are often portrayed differently between the two. The most common portrayal of a timeline is a linear timeline, which follows a linear forward progression straight from beginning to end. The linear timeline will mark out time in various increments, depending on the length of the animation and the user's preferences. Some timelines document increments in seconds, others in minutes. Typically the timelines will also display individual frames, segmented off by the number of frames per second (fps).
