Timeline is a simple keyframe editor for creating animations in Grasshopper.

Features

• Double click to record 
• Create animations directly to `.mp4` video files
• Animate multiple components at once
• Animate the camera
• Edit keyframe easing and position with live updates.
• Rhino 6+ Windows and Mac supported

Usage

1. Add a timeline to your document.
2. Double click the timeline to start tracking changes.
3. Move the time slider and adjust your document and camera to the desired state.
4. Repeat from (2).
5. Double click the timeline to stop tracking.
6. Right click to export your animation.

Usage Notes

• On first run, FFMpeg will be downloaded and cached. This only happens once.
• Sort order for the sequences in your timeline is determined by their vertical position in the document.
• Rename your components to update their names on the timeline.
• When dragging the time slider or a keyframe, mouse over another keyframe to snap to the same time.
• The output of the component is a number from 0-1. If you want to interact with other non-supported components (such as moving the camera along a path). This is equivalent to adding an additional number slider and animating with the timeline.
