Zooming in the Project Window
You can zoom in the Project window according to the standard zoom techniques.
Note the following:
• When you are using the Zoom tool (magnifying glass), the zooming result
depends on the Zoom Tool Standard Mode: Horizontal Zooming Only
option (File > Preferences > Editing > Tools).
If this option is activated and you drag a selection rectangle with the Zoom
tool, the window is only zoomed horizontally, the track height does not
change. If the option is deactivated, the window is zoomed both horizontally
and vertically.
• When you are using the vertical zoom sliders, the tracks are scaled relatively.
If you have made any individual track height adjustments, the relative height
differences are maintained.
•If the Zoom while Locating in Time Scale option (File > Preferences >
Transport) is activated, you can also zoom by clicking in the ruler and
dragging up or down with the left mouse button pressed.
Drag up to zoom out; drag down to zoom in.
• To zoom in on the contents of parts and events vertically, use the waveform
zoom slider in the top right corner of the event display.
This is useful when viewing quiet audio passages.
IMPORTANT
To get an approximate reading on the level of the audio events by viewing the
waveforms, make sure this slider is all the way down. Otherwise, zoomed
waveforms may be mistaken for clipped audio.
•If the Quick Zoom option (File > Preferences > Editing) is activated, the
contents of parts and events are not continuously redrawn when you zoom
manually. Instead, the contents are redrawn once you have stopped changing
the zoom. Activate the Quick Zoom option if screen redraws are slow on your
system.
