# Track View

Animate entire scenes on a unified timeline

The Track View is one of the most important aspects of Timeflow providing users an integrated timeline to animate and choregraph scenes. This view might also be referred to as a dope sheet or arrangement view.

{% hint style="success" %}
Quickly toggle between the Track View and [Graph View](/timeflow/user-guide/timeflow-view/graph-view.md) by clicking the icon ![](https://2067910529-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FC3dOuetlQfYgK5FPUKgn%2Fuploads%2FYKQf5Y6gYF8zT1m7hHYB%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=8926101c-5968-4a97-9366-4bfa11c7f007) in the lower left corner of the panel, or by using the keyboard shortcut **G**.
{% endhint %}

The Track View always shows tracks (the colored bars) on the same horizontal line as the object it belongs to, shown in the [Object Panel](/timeflow/user-guide/timeflow-view/object-panel.md). Animation channel\`s are displayed below each object on a separate row for each, which may or may not have keyframes depending on the type of behavior.

#### Tracks vs Keyframes

Track segments are actually a special type of keyframe. In many cases, tracks and keyframes act similarly and can be worked with simultaneously, such as dragging to position them in time.

For further details, please see the [Tracks](/timeflow/user-guide/timeflow-view/tracks.md) and [Keyframes](/timeflow/user-guide/timeflow-view/keyframes.md) documentation.

## Vertical Scrollbar

A vertical scrollbar is displayed on the far right of the track view. This scrolls the view vertically when there are more objects listed than can be displayed.

{% hint style="info" %}
The mouse scroll wheel also scrolls the view vertically. Note however, if the preference '[Scroll Time Without Alt Key](/timeflow/user-guide/menus-and-shortcuts/preferences.md#scene-backup-path)' is enabled, then you must hover the mouse over the object list to scroll vertically.
