Duplicated timeline? Am I missing something?

lotechlotech
in MAIN
I spot on Uservioice that duplicate timelines is completed but as I work on a show I want to duplicate a timeline but nothing happens.
Clicking on the timeline in the library view and then using cmd-D or the edit menu just does nothing.
I can duplicate layers in the dash or in time lines but not a timeline. This makes making a branch of a timeline quite time consuming and prone to errors on my end as I need to remake segments and durations.
I also often render timelines once everything comped so I only need to play a single clip and currently have to use the same comp with the original layers turned off which I assume makes the render kinda a waste of time.
Thanks

    Hello @lotech,

    You can find the "duplicate timeline" feature in the "Timeline" menubar.
    For info CMD+D is used to duplicate the selected objects : basically, it's a just doing CMD+C then CMD+V.

    Ah! I hadn't realised the Board menu changes to a Timeline menu option when you switched between them, In some ways it makes more sense to have both visible with one becoming unselectable depending on what area you're in.

    Hi.

    And is this function somewhere hidden in Version 5 ? Can't find it anywhere and simply DUPLICATE doesn't do what it says in regards to a timeline ;-)))

    Thanks for some help here.

    Hello @sebe,

    You can duplicate a timeline from the Timeline menubar. More info in this post.

    Hello @sebe,

    The Timeline menubar is only present if you are editing a timeline (else Millumin would not know what timeline to duplicate).

    That makes so much sense ... ;-) Thank you so much for you quick help !!!

    And last question... are you maybe working on a new OSC package for Companion? It would be so cool to get proper feedback in regards of remaining time... I already saw that new "bar" feature, but also can't get it working ... Is there any "how to" side you can recommend? Thank you so much, Phillipe - you're really doing a fantastic job !!!
