Yep – the timeline is now like the dope sheet.  Try to middle mouse around (up/down) until you see all the keyframes.  They are keyframes like the dopesheet not the old yellow lines.  It is likely just showing you an area underneath where the keyframes are.

(This annoys me in the dopesheet too – It only has occurred to me to report it just now haha)

-And those markers are Camera bound so I’m not sure if the rename will work. You might need to unbind it first but sounds like that is a bug anyway.

-Setting the start and end frame in the Time line is now (Ctrl Home and Ctrl End)

E and S will Extend and Scale the selected keframes.

-When deleting collections, try ‘Delete heirachy’.  That will delete everything.

-With the ‘Header’ (you called ‘ribbon’).  In 2.8, it is at the top by default.  In 2.79 is was at the bottom on most windows.  If you open an old file it is likely to be at the bottom.  You can right click in the area where it should be and then a menu will pop up.

(hidden, I know!)

-Linked collections are a nightmare.  I’m trying to figure out a way of doing exactly what you are talking about.  I will try the Holdout option.  (It wasn’t working the last time I tested it)

Keep this stuff coming Omar, because if you struggle with something, it means someone else has also struggled with it.

We’ll collect all this stuff and try to make it into short videos that will help save a lot of people a lot of headaches.

PS.  It looks like you are using the “Add Camera Rigs” add-on I wrote.  Just so you know, there’s a new version coming out really soon. (I’ve fixed all the 2.8 bugs and now I need to submitt it to the Blender devs to get it included in the release again.  The version that ships with blender 2.8 has bugs)
