Help / Timeline

Foldwrap allows you to use a timeline — a standard and intuitive way to edit animations visually.
Each element in the creative is represented by an interactive row on the timeline.

Since Foldwrap allows banners to be animated automatically, elements on the timeline can be of two types:

• With automatic animation, in a gentle pastel color
• And with custom animation, in a brighter color

You can move and rearrange items on the timeline to change an element's animation start time, end time, and duration — and achieve the animation you want.
When you move an element on the timeline, its color changes to a brighter one - this means that custom animation is now being used for this element and you have full control over it, you can change the animation parameters. To return the animation back to automatic, click Reset animation on the animation panel.

Copy and paste animation

Often, there is a need to apply the same animation to multiple elements. In Foldwrap, you can right-click on any item in the timeline to copy its animation and paste it onto any other item in the creative.

When an animation is copied, you have two options to apply it to other elements:

1. Paste Animation – Applies the full copied animation to the element.
2. Paste Appear and Disappear – Keeps the original item’s start and end time, and applies only the appear and disappear animations.
   This is useful when you want to apply the animation of an element from the first frame to similar elements in the second frame, without affecting their position on the timeline.

You can also paste the animation into another creative. To to so, copy animations from some element, navigate to another creative in the same browser tab, and paste the animation into target element.
