In this lecture we look at the new Time editor in Maya 2017.

Is it possible to drag newly created keyframe animations into this timeline and sort of "edit" them there?
I am animating a character through keyframe animations and the hear a lot of people in videos speaking about motion capture information etc. etc.
Is this timeline sort of a video editor but for animations?

This certainly seems more reasonable for blending between things like attack animations in a combo system like for an RPG or a fighting game. But can I export parts of the clips too?
Like say I have 2 attacks and I want to make a blend between them and export each attack and the blend separately, would this be possible?
