User Manual

Moving the Track Selection
The Command-Option-Up and Command-Option-Down Arrow key shortcuts are used to move
the track selection up and down in the Timeline, changing which tracks are selected. By
changing which tracks are selected, you can alter which clip’s In and Out points are used to
jump the playhead around the Timeline.
If no tracks are selected, then nothing happens.
Zooming and Scrolling
The Fairlight page has several methods of zooming into and out of the Timeline, and scrolling
when you’re zoomed to the point where your edited sequence of clips extends past the left and
right edge of the visible timeline.
Setting the Zoom Level of the Timeline
Depending on how you like to work, there are several methods of zooming into and out of
the Timeline.
 Using the Vertical Zoom slider: A pair of sliders at the right of the toolbar let you
zoom vertically and horizontally. The first one lets you scroll vertically in order to see
more detail in the height of your waveforms. If no tracks are selected, then zooming
is centered on the top audio track in the Timeline. If one or more tracks are selected,
then zooming is centered on the topmost selected audio track.
 Using the Horizontal Zoom slider: A pair of sliders at the right of the toolbar let you
zoom vertically and horizontally. The second one lets you zoom horizontally in order
to see more detail in the width of your waveforms. Zooming is always centered on the
position of the playhead.
 Pressing Command-Equal (=) and Command-Minus (–): Command-Equal (also referred
to as Command-Plus) and Command-Minus let you zoom horizontally into the Timeline.
Zooming is always centered on the position of the playhead.
 Use Shift-Z to Zoom to Fit: Command-Z lets you zoom horizontally to fit all clips in your
program to the available width of the Timeline.
 Using scroll controls of your pointing device to scroll horizontally: Holding the Option
key down and using the scroll wheel (or scroll control) of your pointing device will zoom
horizontally into the Timeline.
 Using scroll controls of your pointing device to scroll vertically: Holding the Shift
key down and using the scroll wheel (or scroll control) lets you zoom vertically in
the Timeline. In this case, if no tracks are selected, then zooming is centered on the
top audio track in the Timeline. If one or more tracks are selected, then zooming is
centered on the topmost selected audio track.
 Using the Fairlight panel’s Jog/Edit wheel: If you have a Fairlight panel, you can hold
the ZOOM button down while turning the Jog/Edit wheel to zoom into the Timeline at
the position of the playhead.
