Use timeline to control behavior/animation of every item in your banner.

The Timeline is a very powerful feature of BannerNow. It gives you full control of your banner animation. Also, any time you add a new element on stage, a corresponding layer with transition is created on the timeline.

Use layers and folders (left side of the timeline) to arrange elements on the stage (the higher a layer is on the timeline, the higher the corresponding element appear on stage).

You can also assign names to layers for organization, and lock and hide corresponding elements as well.

Use transitions (right side of the timeline) to configure the Animation Effects of elements. Transitions consist of 3 parts/sections that can be configured: Appear Effect – how an element appears, Stay Effect – middle state, and Disappear Effect – how an element disappears.

Use the mouse to drag transitions on the timeline –  this will set a delay of animation for a particular element. You can also use the mouse (handlers between transition sections) to resize appear, stay and disappear parts of the transitions to set the duration of each animation section.

Use multiselect to move all the layers on your timeline to save time.

Zoom the Timeline from the view menu on the bottom-left of the Timeline.
