I have anime studio 5.6 debut and Anime Studio 6 Pro. I like the new features but I hate the timeline. is it possible for me to draw on 6 and export as 5.6?

or someone making a script so the timeline is same as the old one. I like the sequencer. But I hate the new " channel hiding "

There is no way to directly export to AS5 from AS6. You can try editing the anme file, which is a text file, to make it compatible with AS5.

This thread doesn't give a specific way to do it, but explains a way to figure it out:
Save/Convert AS6 files to open in AS5

I believe SynthSin75 on the Animator Forum describes a way to do this.

I recommend you to give some time to the new timeline. It's a great time and space saver. I think it's all about we were used to the old timeline.

Anyway, you can copy the all frame zero and paste it on frame 1, this way you will see all the channels of your layer.
(menu animation>copy current frame... check "copy entire document")
