Scrolling timeline | tips

[antonsvideo]

what is the french word for scroll? maybe "faire défiler"
is the shortcut list in french or english?

You go into settings/ users settings/customize/keyboard short cut and make sure that category is in all and look for Scroll left and Scroll right, and map it to whatever key you want, I mapped mine to arrow up and arrow down.

i did that, but the closer shortcut i found is : zoom and dezoom on the timeline,
it s dope too !

no matter

In Keyboard shortcut, I map it to Scroll Left and Scroll right.

I like the up and down arrow, when I work to the end of the timeline, I hit arrow up and it will scroll 1 full timeline section to the right.

how did you map your up and down arrows

by default, they move track patches up and down and usually get users into trouble

Edius_6 new timeline magnifier function, nice helpful thing.......

found it per by pure chance, maybe a nice Easter egg for mouse artists....

with hold continuous [shift] + mark a wished area with the right mouse key
automatically zooms the marked area up to the entrie timeline, behind to unclasp all keys

please look at the attachements and the text in the pictures

for zooming in and out of the timescale, I use the + and - keyboard on the # pad section, works great, that along with arrow up and down gets me moving very fast.

use vegas ahahah

There are many tools for a job, for video mine is Edius :)

To me Vegas is like FCX, it works but doesn't feel right .......

If you mean zooming in on the timeline scale, use CTRL and the mouse wheel.

Every software has a certain feel (drag or speed build into it)
Edius zooming works fine with the scroll wheel, wave lab works great.
I use both on a daily basis, so my wish is based on familiarity with the 'feel' of both software.

I still hate the small handle of a 2 or 3 hour timeline ;(

I also prefer intuitive mouse and keyboard use above 2 or 3 button short cuts.
I wish you could zoom the timeline similar to Steinberg wavelab.
Press control and touch the timeline ruler then move mouse up or down or just scroll, during editing most users have one hand on the mouse and one on thè keyboard, this makes for fast zooming.

In Edius, well, different :)
