Canvas Studio’s Timeline is a keyframe editor built around tracks per element and per property, much like modern animation tools: every macro group (Elements, Materials, Lights, Cameras, Post‑Processing) owns its own timeline, and every animatable value inside it (position.x, roughness, intensity, fov, bloomThreshold, etc.) gets its own track with keyframes you can scrub, ease, and move.
Object & Property Tracks – each element (or light, material, camera, effect) expands into property-level tracks you can keyframe individually
Keyframes – set values at specific times for any numeric, vector, or color parameter; drag to retime, copy, paste, or delete
Interpolation – quickly select between easing curves by clicking on the tween you want to ease
Curve Editor – adjust handles for bezier keys for fine motion shaping and overshoot control by clicking the curve icon
Use the Timeline when you need surgical control: camera arcs that ease in perfectly, materials that morph over time, lights that dim on beat, effects that ramp up and down across shots. It’s the precise layer in the animation stack that complements GSAP state tweening and imported GLB/GLTF clips, letting you mix handcrafted curves, high-level state transitions, and baked character motion in one place.
