Overview:
Click Timelines at the bottom of the interface to open the timeline panel. The timeline controls how content changes over time. It allows you to animate properties such as position, rotation, and scale for objects in the scene. Multiple timelines can be created within a single Scene, and different timelines can be linked together through Events to create continuous spatial experiences.
The left section manages different timelines.
The right section allows you to edit content track along the timeline.
