Learn how to zoom the timeline in and out while editing a video to improve precision and efficiency.
Zooming the timeline helps you edit with more control. Zooming in lets you make precise changes, such as trimming clips to exact frames for smoother transitions or syncing text layers. Zooming out shows the whole project, making organizing your video’s flow and structure easier. Switching between zoom levels lets you easily shift from detailed edits to the overall view while working.
Before you begin:
Use the zoom slider and move the handle toward the Zoom In icon to focus on smaller sections of the timeline. This helps you make frame-accurate cuts and fine-tune details, such as text synchronization.
