Zooming In to and Out of Waveforms in the Timeline
There are several ways you can zoom in to and out of waveform displays in the Timeline.
Make sure you have waveform displays turned on (see
“Displaying Waveforms in the
Timeline” ).
You can also use the Zoom control and Zoom slider in the Timeline. These controls work
the same way they do in the audio tabs of the Viewer. For information on using these
controls, see
“Zooming In to or Out of the Waveform Display Area.”
To zoom in to and out of the Timeline using the zoom tools
1 Select the Zoom In or Zoom Out tool in the Tool palette (or press Z).
2 Do one of the following:
• Click in the waveform area of a track in the Timeline.
• Drag to select a region to zoom in or out on.
Clicking or dragging repeatedly increases or decreases the zoom factor, depending on
which tool is selected. When the Timeline is zoomed in or out to the maximum level
possible, the plus (+) and minus (-) signs on the zoom tools disappear.
