Originally these appeared as pink blocks in the timeline, but now the keyframes are appearing following the arrow marking the inserted reference. This occurred after I had modified the action after inserting it into the timeline.
I've managed to get a similar looking timeline by creating an action, inserting it by copy rather than by reference (gives you the plain keyframes), editing the action back to a frame one keyframe only, then inserting a reference (gives you the arrows without the pink blocks), so it is possible to create something similar by user action.
I think we're seeing something happening with actions being edited after being used, particularly back to frame one only. Somehow Anime Studio thinks the action is still only one frame long.
Experimentation (replacing an existing keyframe with a new keyframe to refresh the action length):
Select the Skeleton layer in Layer 4 - open up the action, copy the keyframe on frame 26, paste it into frame 27, delete the keyframe in frame 26, and move the copy in frame 27 back to frame 26.
In effect, this has done nothing but replace the keyframe with a copy of itself. However, to Anime Studio the newly pasted keyframe is a new keyframe, and back in the main timeline the pink blocks are back again (for the Skeleton layer, at least).
