A little editing tip help at DVinfo.net

Hello again guys,

So I was wondering if any of you Adobe editors ever messed around with Vegas Pro 9. There is one thing that I would love about Vegas Pro 9 that would make my editing a lot faster and the workflow would be smooth.

In Vegas Pro 9, while editing, A simple scroll on the middle scroll button on my mouse would zoom in and out of the timeline. Making editing a tad easier. Sorry if I am not explaining myself quite well. Does anybody on here know how to do this with Premiere?

Thanks again

Try zooming

Thanks Hannu, I know of that already. What my question is, is does PPro offer that customizable setting like Vegas does for zooming in and out of timeline, using the scroll wheel on the mouse?

I think those who have used Vegas Pro 9 or other versions know what I am talking about. Thanks though

ALT + Scroll Wheel.

Or the handles at the ends of the line above the numbers on the timeline. They call that the viewing area bar. Grabbing the middle of the bar just moves you back and forth but grabbing the handles at either end gives you a quick zoom in or out.

If you enter "timeline zoom" in the help search box, the first article returned shows a diagram.
