To use the Zoom tool , choose Editing Tool from the Edit menu, and then choose Zoom from the
submenu. You can use the zoom tool to change the magnification of the Vegas Pro project.
Click the Zoom button in the corner of the timeline to temporarily change the cursor into the Zoom

previously active tool.
Before zooming, you can maximize the timeline by using the following shortcuts:

Drag the mouse over the area you want to magnify. A dotted rectangle is drawn around the area, and the
area is magnified when the mouse button is released.
While holding the left mouse button, click the right mouse button to toggle through the three
magnification modes:
