    Hello everyone,

    I've encountered some problems using Timeline and wanted to share some suggestions. Sorry if here is the wrong place to post this.

    Problem
    : Creating space between clips requires too much effort. You can either select everything and move it or use nested timelines and lose multiple graphs visualization.
    Suggestion 1: Add blocks or sections that move everything them contain in between.
    Suggestion 2: Add a button to select everything a track group contains.
    Suggestion 3: Allow the selection of the track group "shadow clip" when it's folded.

    Problem: Animation clips on Timeline animates the transform even when there are no keys for it, reseting it's values if you don't add your own, limiting design.
    Suggestion: Ignore what it's not on the animation clip.

    Problem: If you move the initial time of an animation clip, it moves the keyframes to match that extra time on the clip.
    Suggestion: Instead of adding time to the clip, make it HOLD the initial values like it does beyond it's end point, which is useful for any custom clips.

    Problem: Timeline Behaviours can't access the clip starting and ending point to create blending based on local time.
    Suggestion: Expose them please :)
