Chapter 5 Working in the Timeline 97
Setting Track Height
You set the height of tracks, busses, and outputs in the Timeline using the Track Height
control. The Track Height control has four settings. The smallest rectangle sets the track
height to a minimized setting, with each track (and track header) reduced to half-
height, allowing more tracks to be displayed in the Timeline.
To set the height of tracks, busses, and outputs:
m Click one of the four rectangles on the Track Height control.
Using the Global Timeline View
The Global Timeline view, located above the Time display and Time ruler, shows a
miniature view of the entire project. The playhead appears as a black vertical line with a
triangular handle. The part of the project currently visible in the Timeline is indicated
by a blue rectangle in the Global Timeline view.
To move to a new area of the Timeline using the Global Timeline view:
m Drag the visible area rectangle to a new position.
You can quickly move to different parts of the Timeline by dragging the blue rectangle.
This is especially useful when working on longer projects. You can also drag the
rectangle up or down to move vertically in the Global Timeline view. This is useful if
your project contains more tracks, busses, and outputs than can be displayed in the
Project window.
