Locking/Unlocking Tracks in the Timeline
To lock a track in the Timeline, click at the left of the track. When a
track is locked, you cannot add new clips to the track, nor move or edit
the clips it contains. To unlock a track in the Timeline, click at the
extreme left of the track. When a track is unlocked, you can freely add,
move and edit clips. For more information, see "Preview your
Production" on page 52.
Showing/Hiding Tracks in the Timeline
To hide a track in the Timeline, first click Movie in the Preview window,
then click at the extreme left of the track. When a track is hidden, it
will not be displayed in the Preview window. This way you can preview
your project by tracks and concentrate on the track you are working on.
To display a track that has been hidden in the Timeline, first click Movie
in the Preview window, then click at the extreme left of the track.
Resizing the Ruler
You can resize the ruler for a more expanded or more condensed view
of your production. To resize the ruler, click inside the ruler and drag.
Expand the ruler for more a precise view, which is especially handy
when aligning clips and effects, or condense the ruler for a global
overview of your entire production.
Timeline Zoom
You can change your overall view of the timeline by zooming in or out,
allowing you to quickly view the entire contents of your movie
production in the timeline. To zoom in or out, use the slider located at
the bottom of the timeline.
