Timeline only shows ten layers at a time

Post by Jkoseattle »

My current project is only able to show ten layers at a time in the timeline. If I add an eleventh layer by checking the checkmark in the layers pane, in is displayed, but some other layer previously shown is now gone. It is behaving as if there were a ten layer maximum in the timeline. No keyframes are being lost, I just can't see them. An eleventh layer also cannot be seen by simply highlighting the layer in the layers pane.

If it matters, many of these layers are in groups. My version is up to date.

I also seem to remember encountering this issue a few months back in a different project. I don't remember if ten was the maximum at that time, but when I noticed it, I was almost done anyway and had a deadline, so I ignored it. I say all this because I don't believe it is isolated to this particular project.

It's a new feature meant to optimize Moho's performance and improve stability. You can increase the number of visible layers in Preferences under the Timeline tab (the default is 10 layers.) Just bear in mind that increasing the number of layers can affect performance.

Wow, more than 10 layers? I rarely need to see more than 3 or so layers in the timeline at a time. In fact, I tend to go out of my way to minimize how much data is exposed in the timeline unless I absolutely need to see more.

Hope this helps.

Oh! Thank you! And to answer your question, lots of arrows going every which way to show a department that is disorganized!

Ah! Ok, yeah, I can totally see needing that with motion graphics type of animations.
