Zooming in the Project Window

You can zoom in the Project window according to the standard zoom techniques.

Note

If screen redraws are slow on your system, consider activating Quick Zoom in the Preferences dialog (Editing page).

Zooming Horizontally

  • Select the Zoom tool and click in the event display to zoom in. To zoom out, hold down Alt and click.

  • Use the horizontal zoom sliders to zoom in and out.

  • Click the lower half of the ruler and drag down to zoom in horizontally. Click the lower half of the ruler and drag up to zoom out horizontally.

  • Click H to zoom in horizontally. Click G to zoom out horizontally.

Note

If the Grid Type in the Project window toolbar is set to Adapt to Zoom, the horizontal zoom level affects the grid and snap resolution in the event display.

Zooming Vertically

  • Select the Zoom tool, click in the event display, and drag a selection rectangle to zoom in vertically and horizontally.

    Note

    For this to work, you must deactivate the Zoom Tool Standard Mode: Horizontal Zooming Only option in the Preferences dialog (Editing—Tools page).

  • Use the vertical zoom sliders to zoom in and out. If you have made any individual track height adjustments, the relative height differences are maintained.

  • Click Shift-H to zoom in vertically. Click Shift-G to zoom out vertically.
