Timely Fashion

With Temporis, you can create stunning timelines for print, web sites, documents, presentations, and more.

Timelines have traditionally been easiest to create on a Mac with graphics applications, even though such applications weren’t designed to keep track of timeline data. With the drag-and-drop ease of Temporis, you can create a complete, customized timeline document in no time at all. Adding events is as easy as ‘drawing’ them in place. Temporis‘ timeline property controls are always ready at hand, making it easy to give your timeline a personal touch.

Simple Controls

The simple timeline property controls allow you to choose the look and feel that’s right for your timeline, whether formal and stuffy for the suits or whimsical and fun for the wacky. Either way will do.

While the timeline property controls let you pick a default look for all events in the timeline, the Event Inspector panel lets you customize the look of individual events, letting you add a little accent or a lot of accent.

The Arrange feature automatically arranges the events in your timeline in a staggered order, keeping the timeline nice and neat.

Pass It On

When you’ve finished your timeline, export it as a graphic for use with any word processor, page layout tool, or presentation application, just use the Export feature. Temporis can generate a PDF or a TIFF graphic, which any word processor or layout application (such as Word, Pages, Keynote, PowerPoint, etc.) can read.

A graphic isn’t the only thing you can export with Temporis. The export controls also allow you to export your timeline’s event data as XML or comma-separated value files.

You can even use Temporis alongside Transcriva to create a graphical timeline to accompany your transcript.

Who It’s Meant For

Temporis is an excellent application for creating a stylish sequential or date-based timeline, however, Temporis is not a project scheduler or planner and does not support Gantt charts, dependencies, etc.

      I really wish there was an easy way to make an *interactive* timeline from these programs — to let users scale and scroll, click to learn more, etc. — I guess outputting to Flash (or very fancy CSS, I suppose). The QuickTime movies are okay, but no substitute for interaction.

      Great to have the Zots starting two hours earlier. As for Temporis, I’ve tried it a while ago and settled for Timeline. Temporis hasn’t been updated in a long while and I found the developer of Timeline more dedicated to its application. Having purchased both Copywrite and Transcriva from Bartas, I’m stranded with applications that weren’t updated this year at all: no bugs fixed, no improvements, no new features, nadda.

      Bummer. I passed on Timeline back when it was Zotted (was still on Tiger at the time). I keep hoping it’ll show up again.

      Have to agree. I have both and while Temporis is a good looker, Timeline is a lot more intuitive and flexible, and the developer seems a deal more enthusiastic.

      Thanks for the feedback guys. Looks like I’ll wait until Timeline comes up again. Have seen it a couple of times in the past year, so should come up again soon.

      To mcoad … you said Timeline is more intuitive and flexible than Temporis? I’ve had the exact opposite experience. I found Timeline’s interface frustratingly inflexible and its lack of formatting features completely killed the deal. There’s a lot more that Temporis does than is immediately obvious. I found a lot of stuff in the manual that I didn’t know it could even do..
