And just to illustrate with one use case where this would be important. Let's say that you have a playlist with songs (or videos), and you want to control the playlist with one parent timeline so that you can have one slider used to move from the different songs, as if the songs where actually stitched together as one single piece. In this case, you would like to have one child timeline for every song, and then add every child timeline to the parent timeline which would then be the UI-facing timeline to control the playlist.
