Is it possible to trim the timeline if a scene doesn't start at frame 1?  I often find that I start new scenes where old one's end and would like to do something like 'trim comp to work area' in After Effects.

Thanks

drag the 2 arrows things to where you want your start and end points to be.

You can also "Delete Frames" in the Timeline Editor.
(Of course, that is a permanent removal of frames, but can be very useful when you do a "Save As" to start a new scene that is similar to a previous one, for example.)

If you have any soft cloth physics, long hair, or particle emitters, you will need a second or two of animation before your real action begins to be sure the cloth is settled down, or the emitted particles are visible, etc.


P.S.
I will take a moment to once again say "THANK YOU" to REALLUSION for vastly improving the performance in Insert Frames and Delete Frames.  It used to that a long, long time in iClone 5, but is extremely fast in iClone 6.  I'm not sure if I've done it in iC7 yet.  Hmm... I better make sure it still works wonderfully.
