# Multi-Layer Timeline

The multi-layer timeline view organizes footage or elements into a multi-layer format. You can scroll, pan, and zoom the multi-layer timeline, as well as rearrange elements on the timeline by dragging and dropping.

The multi-layer timeline in Lustre supports Video Tracks and Video Layers. However, vertical compositing is not supported in Lustre.

Multi-layer timeline editing is useful for roughing out edit sequences and grade versioning. In addition, shot selections are now linked between the timeline and the Storyboard.

You can also copy the grading information in the multi-layer timeline or colourist multi-layer timeline. See Copying Grading Information in the Colourist Timeline.

The multi-layer timeline allows you to display footage, play out to tape, and render in accordance with rules that prioritize some shots or layers over others. See Displaying the Multi-Layer Timeline.
