# Splitting the Timeline Window into Two Sections

You can use the Zoom slider to view more or less of the Timeline window, but if your scene is very long, you would still have to use the slider to display the beginning and end of the scene.

That’s why the Timeline window features the Split Window button. This button allows you to split the Timeline window into two sections, allowing you to view two sections of the scene independently.

To split the Timeline window into two sections:

1. Click the Split Window button in the top-right of the Timeline window. A border bar appears on the extreme right of the Timeline window.

2. Place your pointer over the bar that separates the two sections so that your pointer changes to a resize pointer.

3. Drag the bar to its new position.

The new section of the Timeline window has its own scroll bars and Zoom slider.
