Guides

Guides are markers created to help identify important frames in a project. They may indicate a frame where a footfall occurs in the scene, the moment that someone passes through a portal in the image, or any other important event in the composite.

Guides are created in the small area between the time axis labels and the graph view. They have the appearance of a small blue triangle and a blue line that extends from them vertically through the graph view.

Working With Guides

Holding the mouse pointer over a guide will cause a tooltip to appear with the frame to which that guide is set, together with the name assigned to the guide (if any).

Creating Guides

To create a guide, click in the space immediately above the graph view, below the time axis labels.

Deleting Guides

To delete a guide, click-drag it up beyond the axis labels and release the mouse. Alternately, right-click directly on the guide and select Delete Guide from the context menu.

Moving Guides

Click-drag a guide to reposition it along the time axis.

Jumping To Guides

Right-clicking in the guides area and selecting Jump To Guide will change the current frame to the guide's frame.

Sharing Guides With The Timeline

Right-click in the guides area and select Edit Guides or press Ctrl-G to open a dialog box with the names of the guides in the composition. Clicking on the name of a guide will cause the current time to change to that guide's frame. Beside the names of the guides, there is a pair of checkboxes, one for the spline editor and one for the timeline. By default, guides are created active in both portions of the Fusion interface. To prevent a guide from appearing in either view, de-select the appropriate checkbox.
