13.0 Edit Window Overview

Navigating in the Editor window: Zooming and Panning

The area of the editor where the regions is shown is called the "canvas". There are several ways to navigate (pan and zoom) the editor canvas.

In the bottom left corner there is a menu to select the zoom focus. There are also 2 buttons, one to increase and one to decrease the zoom level. The "zoom focus" affects the operation of the zoom buttons and the zoom key commands by changing the focal point for the zoom.

Zoom focus can be one of:

•Left: Zoom focus is the left side of the screen.

•Right: Zoom focus is the right side of the screen.

•Center: Zoom focus is the center of the screen.

•Playhead: Zoom operations will center on the playhead.

•Mouse: Zoom operations will center on the mouse position (only makes sense when using the zoom keyboard commands; when buttons are clicked the Playhead is used as zoom focus).

•Edit Point: The active Marker is used as zoom focus. If there is no active marker, then it uses the playhead.

In addition to the scroll bars, there are several scroll-wheel commands that can be used to navigate the editor canvas:

•Scroll: Scrolls vertically.

•Alt/Opt+scroll: Pan the editor canvas left/right.

•Ctrl/Cmd+scroll: Increase/decrease the zoom (note: this always uses the Mouse as zoom focus).

•Shift+scroll: Increase/decrease the height of the track that is currently under the mouse.

The Transport Menu and Toolbar

Many items in the Transport Menu and Toolbar are self-explanatory. For more details click Help->Reference.

Tip: (Linux Only) Clicking in the timeline area, you can drag up or

down to increase/decrease the zoom level (note: this always uses a "zoom focus" of playhead).

Tip: The View menu also has some useful commands for navigating the

edit screen. These operations are very important to learn if you want to navigate the edit screen quickly.

•Zoom to Region: This zooms the timeline to fit the length of the selected region(s).

•Zoom to Region (W&H): This fills the entire edit window with a single region.

•Toggle Zoom state: Toggles to the previous zoom command.
