# Timeline Editor The Timeline module can be broken up into different subsets of tools. Each subset corresponds to a specific window section of the Timeline module (with the notable exception of the Color Correction Tools which have their own window). This section of the documentation focuses on the Timeline Editor window section, which is used for organizing media, cues, effects, etc. The **lower section** of the Timeline window is called the **Timeline Editor** and regroups the tools you will use to edit a Show. Shows are constructed by **placing Clips sequentially in the tracks** of the Timeline. The horizontal axis of the Timeline shows the time progression of a Show, expressed in *hours:minutes:seconds:frames*. Screens (see Screens in Programming a Show) are positioned on the vertical axis of the Timeline. Each Screen can contain one or many Layers, which in turn contain different types of Clips: media, cues, effects, etc. ![](https://2251001579-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2Ftachyon-documentation%2F-MZNkSeqPEwFDWBKOSAe%2F-MZNkbxfeAJHGCpmVud6%2F0.png?generation=1619618070727206\&alt=media) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
