tip: 3dsmax timeline

Bringing time configuration dialog everytime you need to change start/end time is useless. But there is some hotkeys, just click over 3dsmax timeline:

Timeline

Ctrl+Alt+LMB – change start time

Ctrl+Alt+RMB – change end time

Ctrl+Alt+MMB – drag entire timeline

LMB – left mouse button, RMB – right mouse button, MMB – middle mouse button.
