Animatic

It is now possible to create gaps in your animatic when editing its timing, like when editing video clips in a video editing software.

By default, any change you make to your animatic will ripple subsequent panels so as to avoid leaving gaps in the timeline. To be able to create gaps, you must enable Animatic Editing Mode. This can be done by clicking on the Animatic Editing Mode button in the bottom-left corner of the Timeline view. You can also temporarily toggle Animatic Editing Mode by pressing and holding the Ctrl (Windows) or ⌘ (macOS) key while changing the duration of a panel in the Timeline view.

By default, when you offset panels, sound clips and video clips that are cued during those panels will also be offset to remain synchronized with them.

You can now disable the synchronization of video and sound clips for each video and audio track in your project. When synchronization is disabled for a track, its clips will not offset when you make changes to the timing of your animatic.

To disable synchronization for a track, click on the Sync button next to this track in the Timeline view.

The Timeline view is now divided in two separate areas: 

• The video area contains your storyboard track, which contains your project's panels, animations and camera movements, as well as all of your project's video tracks.
• The audio area contains all of your project's audio tracks.

It is possible to reposition the divider between those two areas and to scroll each area vertically without affecting the other area.
