Rearranging Windows

You can resize and move all the Avid FX windows in the interface using the following

commands:

• Zoom Window. Select Window > Zoom Window or Ctrl+/ (Windows) to toggle the

active window between its current size and the smallest size in which it can display all

its contents.

• Snap All Home. Select Window > Snap All Home or Ctrl+ to move and resize all

windows in the interface to their default positions and sizes.

The Snap All Home command does not toggle your windows back to the previous position

and size but to the default position and size.
