Zoom slider: Like the Zoom control, the Zoom slider allows you to zoom in and out of

a sequence in the Timeline. Dragging the thumb tabs on either side of the slider adjusts
both thumb tabs and leaves the visible area of the Timeline centered.

Drag the slider to scroll
through your sequence.

Pressing the Shift key and dragging one of the thumb tabs locks the opposite thumb
tab and moves the visible area of the Timeline in the direction you’re dragging. The
light gray indicators inside the scroll bar indicate one-minute increments in your
sequence, and widen or narrow depending on how far into your sequence you’ve
zoomed.

Once you’ve zoomed in to your sequence, you can scroll along the entire duration of
the sequence by dragging the center of the zoom slider.
