Zoom and View Pop-Up Menus
The two pop-up menus near the top of the Viewer let you quickly select the magnification
level and a viewing format to control the way media in the Viewer is displayed.
Note: These menus also appear in the Canvas, and the options are the same.
Zoom Pop-Up Menu
Choose a magnification level from this pop-up menu. Your choice affects only the
display size of the image; it doesn’t affect the scaling or frame size of the footage in the
Viewer. You can also change the magnification level from the keyboard by pressing
Command-= (equal sign) to zoom in and Command-– (minus) to zoom out.
Besides simply choosing a magnification level, you can choose one of the following:
 Fit to Window: Increases or decreases the size of your media’s image to match any
size of the Viewer window. You can also do this by clicking the Viewer to make it
active, and then pressing Shift-Z (Zoom to Fit).
 Fit All: This is similar to the Fit to Window command, but this command takes into
account clips whose borders extend beyond the current Viewer boundaries.
