The timeline control displays the clips that make up a mash within a scrollable, zoomable view. Each clip is represented by a preview within a rounded rectangle that is colored and shaded to indicate its media type.

These clips are arranged into tracks that are strictly grouped by media type. There is one track for video, image and theme clips which are sequentially positioned so as to avoid any gaps between them. Effect clips appear in tracks above this track, while audio clips appear below it. Clips in these tracks can be positioned arbitrarily, and new tracks are automatically created as clips are dragged into them.

If a video clip contains a soundtrack it will appear in a special audio track just beneath the video track, and move along with it. Clips on this audio track might get mixed if there is a transition between their associated video clips.
