When you create a new project, an empty view appears in the timeline. Multiple projects can be active in the timeline, but only one is visible at a time. You can switch project views by selecting the left and right arrows at the top of the timeline in the middle of the screen. This is similar to the familiar back and forward buttons in an internet browser. The name of the current project on view is between the two arrows.
