Overview

.. image:: /static/ChronosTimelineBanner.webp

Chronos Timeline is a Blender addon that helps you break down your scene using a list of frame ranges that you can quickly switch to.


When animating a scene in Blender, very often you will need to breakdown the scene into smaller chunks to work on.

To achieve that, you will need to change your frame range very often to check your animation.

Chronos Timeline will help you in this, by allowing you to create a list of frame ranges that you can quickly switch to. Allowing you to divide and conquer, and focus on smaller sections of the scene.


.. note::
    The feature in this addon was previously in Frame Ranger and Frame Ranger Lite, which has been deprecreated.
    If you have purchased Frame Ranger, you can claim this addon for *FREE*.
