waveform view of a particular audio track. You choose which track populates an Audio Scroller

What Are They Used For?
The Audio Scrollers always provide a zoomed-in view of specific audio tracks that you’re
focused on, regardless of the zoom level of the Timeline tracks above. This means you can
focus on subtle details of the audio of one or two tracks that you’re working on, while the rest of
the Timeline shows you the overall stack of tracks with clips that are playing together at
that moment.
Meanwhile, the Video Scroller always shows the exact frame of video that corresponds to the
current moment in time, so it’s an aid to precision editing involving frame-specific adjustments.
Additionally, both the Filmstrip and Waveform viewers scroll continuously during playback,
giving you a preview of what visual actions and audio cues are coming a few moments forward
in time that you can refer to while performing automation or recording foley.
Repositioning the Scroller Playhead
While the scrollers are visible, the Scroller playhead can be dragged to the left or right in the
Timeline to give you more or less preview room to the right.
Zooming the Video Scroller
Right clicking on the Video scroller lets you choose a Low, Medium, or High zoom level. At Low,
you get a frame-by-frame view of the program that feels like scrolling a strip of film on a
Steenbeck. At Medium and High, you get a progressively abbreviated film strip that lets you
zoom more quickly.
Scrolling the Fairlight Timeline Using the Scroller Tracks
Dragging the scroller tracks to the left or right smoothly scrubs through the Timeline in greater
detail, regardless of the zoom level of the Timeline tracks above.
