# About the Timing View

The Timing View displays the timeline of all ConnectFX clips in one view. This view is especially useful for edits where you want to see the relative position of all clips in time. For example, offset multiple clips or edit one clip in relation to the others.

You can adjust the timing of any number of clips as well as perform basic editing operations such as slipping, sliding, or trimming. You cannot perform editing operations that involve combining clips or inserting frames from one clip into another.

Edit a clip gesturally, or use same buttons and keyboard shortcuts as you would on the timeline.

To access the Timing View, click the Timing button. All clips in the current schematic, including clips that are part of a group node, are represented by a clip proxy and primary video track. Gaps are displayed based on Media settings, which are set in the clip's Basic menu.

You can select multiple clips on different tracks to perform timing operations at the same time. Selected clip proxies and tracks are highlighted by an orange bounding box.
