Scroll horizontally through a zoomed-in Timeline
1 Zoom in to the Timeline until you see a portion of the project only.
2 Do one of the following:
Drag the slider at the bottom of the Timeline to the left or the right. Â
Choose the Hand tool from the Tools pop-up menu in the toolbar (or press H), and Â
drag left or right in the Timeline.
Tip: To switch to the Hand tool temporarily, hold down the H key. When you release
the H key, the tool reverts to the previously active tool.
Adjust Timeline settings
In Final Cut Pro, it’s very easy to adjust the Timeline display options. For example, you
can show clips with or without video lmstrips or audio waveforms. Or you can change
the vertical height of the clips or the size of lmstrips or audio waveforms in relation
to the video thumbnails that appear in the lmstrip of each clip in the Timeline. You
can also show only the clip names.
The snapping behavior makes it easier and quicker to do things like line up a video
clip with an audio clip, or align the playhead to a particular marker. When snapping
is turned on, items you move in the Timeline appear to jump, or “snap,” directly to
certain points in the Timeline. This can help you quickly line up edits with other items
in the project.
