inspect timeline
Real rendered frames of the composite (all layers, text, captions), with the visible clip ids: one frame, a list, an even range, or a few around a point, up to 12 a call, in frames or seconds. Each carries its frame number, size and a grid ruled every 0.1 in the timeline’s own coordinates, the values a clip’s frame box, crop insets and focus take; grid: false for the bare picture. sheet returns the whole timeline as one picture of evenly spaced frames with their times. span reads a stretch as one strip of frames, waveform and words instead; the waveform is the sources at clip volume, not the mix as played. Notes per frame: the timeline’s own words cut off, off the frame, overlapping one another, over a face, too small or faint (a motion graphic’s once settled); a crop that cuts a face or shows no head; fading names a clip caught mid-fade, drawn fainter than it plays. Text burned into the footage is not read. Cloud processing.
Authorizations
An API key (es_live_…) from Settings, under API keys, or an OAuth access token.
Headers
Retry a paid dispatch safely: the same key returns the job already dispatched instead of charging again.
The workspace this one call acts in, when it is not the default: for a key or a connected agent, one of the workspaces the user allowed it.
Body
The timeline id.
Exact frame numbers to render.
12The same, as timestamps in seconds.
12count frames spread evenly between start and end, in frames, or start_seconds and end_seconds.
A few frames around this frame number.
A few frames around this timestamp in seconds.
False to leave the grid off and return the bare picture. Default true.
A stretch in seconds, up to 60: one strip of frames, waveform and words instead of separate frames, which is how a cut is judged against the sound. Its frames are drawn and charged like any others.
True: the whole timeline as one picture, a grid of evenly spaced frames with their times (about 9 for 30 s, 16 for 3 min), charged as the frames drawn.
With sheet: how many frames, up to 20. Fewer draws each larger.
2 <= x <= 20
