Definition: The Timeline view of Windows Movie Maker or other movie making software shows the components of the movie such as photos, video and audio clips in the order and timing that they will appear in movie.

Adjustments to the length that a picture, movie clip or sound will appear or be heard in the final movie, are made in the Timeline view.

Examples: Mary needed to edit her movie so that the music played for a longer time on the screen. She made this adjustment in the Timeline view of Windows Movie Maker.
