Each item (text, shape, line, image, GIF, sticker, or video) on a scene’s canvas in Vids has its own object track in the timeline at the bottom of the Vids window. The object track allows you to customize when an item enters and leaves the scene.

To view and customize object tracks for your video:
- On your computer, open a video in Google Vids.
