Using the Timeline Scroll Bar
The Timeline scroll bar appears on the right side of the Timeline
bottom toolbar.
The Timeline scroll bar functions like any standard scroll bar. You can
drag the scroll box to reposition yourself within the Timeline, or click
the arrows to scroll left or right.
Displaying Detail in the Timeline
The scale bar stretches and contracts the Timeline area centered
around the position indicator. This allows you either to zoom in to
focus on a specific area of your sequence or to zoom out to display
your whole sequence. This feature is especially useful when you have
a lengthy sequence with many edits.
To zoom in on a section of the Timeline at the position indicator and
then zoom back to your original display:
1. Click the scale box and drag it to the right.
The following happens:
• The Timeline expands horizontally.
• The Timeline track shows more detail.
• The position indicator splits into a solid blue line and a dotted
blue line (or “shadow”), marking the beginning and end of the
current frame. You can click either the line or the shadow to
move exactly one frame forward or backward.
2. Click the scale box, and drag it back to the left.
The Timeline shrinks to its original size.
