Zoom in or out of Monitor panel’s mini-timeline

When using the Sceneline, you can zoom in and out of the Monitor panel’s mini-timeline to expand or contract its
increments. Zooming in on the mini-timeline helps you see changes happening over small expanses of time, even over
the duration of a single frame. Zooming out helps you see changes happening over longer spans.

Drag the end of the mini-timeline to zoom in or out.

Scroll the Timeline during preview

You can set an option to automatically scroll the Timeline from right to left, like film moving across the screen, when
a sequence is larger than the visible timeline. That way you don’t have to zoom out to see the entire sequence.

1 Choose Edit > Preferences

> General.

2 Choose an option from the Timeline Playback Auto-Scrolling menu.

No Scroll

Doesn’t scroll the Timeline.

Page Scroll

Scrolls the visible section of the Timeline a page at a time.

Smooth Scroll

Scrolls the Timeline while the current-time indicator stays in the center of the visible Timeline.

View safe zones in the Monitor panel

You can view safe zone margins (guides) in the Monitor panel to determine if any text or objects in your project fall
outside the safe zone. When text or objects fall outside the safe zone, they may be clipped when played back on certain
screens. Safe zone margins are for your reference and are not included in previews or export.
