Zooming
Keyboard shortcut:
The easiest way to zoom is by using the key combination "Ctrl+Page Up" (zoom in) and "Ctrl+Page
Down" (zoom out).
Zoom menu:
Right clicking on the start marker opens the context menu where you can select the most important zoom
levels.
Zoom-enabled sliders:
Use the slider ("fader") to set up the visible clip on the horizontal time axis.
You can tell which part of the entire arrangement is being played by the size and position of the slider. In
the full view, the zoom sliders take up the entire sliding space. The full view can be accessed by double
clicking on the slider.
If you move the mouse to the edge of the slider, then the cursor will turn into a stretch symbol which can
be used to select and compress/stretch the fader. This way you can zoom in and out quickly and it isn't
confined to a set number of steps, but is continuous.
Exact zoom levels can be selected by right clicking on the fader or on the start marker via the context
menu. Here you can also jump to certain positions in the arrangement.
Grid
The snap grid ensures that the objects always "snap" to certain points so that they can be positioned
precisely according to the beat. Two consecutive objects will seamlessly snap together, even if they are
on different tracks. This prevents undesired gaps or overlapping objects.
Objects
Sound and picture tracks are displayed as separate objects and are edited independently of one
another.
Sound material is displayed as a wave form. Where there's something to see, there's something to hear.
Picture material appears with regular preview pictures as an object in the track.
All objects can be cut uniformly, edited with effects, and arranged any way you like. During playback, all
objects on all tracks are mixed together automatically. When moving a photo, all related objects will be
moved along with it (audio recordings, frames, and text objects, for example).
Object cutting and fades
All objects can be re-sized with their lower edge "object handles".
Move the mouse over one of the lower corners of the object until
the mouse pointer becomes a double arrow.
You can now stretch the object as much as you like.
At the top ends of every object you'll find two
fade handles that can be adjusted to fade an
object in or out.
Adjust brightness/volume
Using the brightness/volume handle located centrally at the top of the object, you can adjust the volume
of audio or MIDI
objects or the brightness of video and image objects. Simply drag the handle either up or down.
Even if several objects are playing simultaneously, the volume or brightness of individual objects can still
be altered.
