Movie overview
The option "Movie overview" in the "Window" menu enables an overview of the
entire project. All objects in the project window are displayed in the program monitor.
The overview display is especially recommended for working on long movies because
the reduced overview in the program monitor can be combined well with the zoomed
detailed view in the project window.
The movie overview can be used for moving around in the movie and editing specific
parts:
• When you click on a particular object in the program monitor, the project window
will zoom into the object.
• When you drag on a border in the program monitor, the project window will
zoom into the corresponding area.
• When you move the playback marker in the program monitor, the playback
marker in the project window will also move correspondingly.
Tip: If you use this option very often, try using the corresponding keyboard shortcut
(Shift + A).
Monitor zoom
The preview images of both monitors may be zoomed in and out to examine specific
details in the image more closely (zoom in) or to reduce the image so that black
edges result for use of animations (view page 151).
• Cl
ick on the preview monitor and zoom out of the video image by holding down
"Ctrl" and using mouse wheel.
