Manage sequences : Add/Remove/Define order of the sequences

## Timeline description

Timeline lists the sequences which compose the project :
Sequences are listed by the left towards the right. Every sequence is represented by: :

- A thumb corresponding to the 1st static shot of the sequence..
  Below on the left of the thumb is reminded the name of file of the photo, if the sequence consists from a photo.
  Possibly an icon is display upper left if the sequence contain more than one static shot.
- An icon corresponding to the transition selected to pass of this sequence to the following one.
- The duration in seconds of the sequence.
- A thumb corresponding to the sequence type from one of the available :

- Title sequence
- Image or photo sequence
- Movie sequence

Remark : Current sequence is surrounded with a blue frame.
Remark :
The total duration of the assembly is not equal to the sum of the durations of sequences because the transitions make that sequences overlap.
Two sequences of 10 seconds possessing each a transition of 1 second will give a total duration for the assembly of 19 seconds (and not of 20 seconds)!

## Manage sequences

The management of the sequence is made through the toolbar icons or through menu.
To add sequences to the project, click one of following both buttons:

| Allows to add a sequence of type title: an empty and black image is added to the project and is shown in the timeline.
| Allows to add a sequence of type photo: a file open dialog box is display to select an image. The selected image is added to the project and is shown in the timeline.
| Allows to add a sequence of type movie : a file open dialog box is display to select a movie. The selected movie is added to the project and is shown in the timeline.
| Allows to add sequence from an existing project to the end of current project : a file open dialog box is display to select a project. The sequences included in the selected project are added to the current project and are shown in the timeline.
| Allow to cut the current sequence (remove it from timeline and place it into the clipboard)
| Allow to copy the current sequence (place a copy of the sequence into the clipboard)
| Allow to paste the sequence from the clipboard into the timeline, either at the end of the project, or after the current sequence, according to the option add the new sequences of the configuration dialog box (at the project end of after current sequence)
| Allows to delete the current sequence.

The display order of sequences in the list can be adapted by moving the selected sequence by means of arrows:

| Allows to move the selected sequence towards the left.
| Allows to move the selected sequence towards the right.
