Zoom in and out of your video timeline in elevate.io to get a closer look and fine-tune your edits quickly.

Zooming in and out of your timeline in elevate.io gives you more control and precision while. editing - especially when working with detailed cuts or longer projects. Here are a few simple ways to zoom.

  1. Zoom using a trackpad

If you're on a laptop or using a trackpad, make sure your mouse is located anywhere on the timeline, and then pinch and stretch with two fingers to zoom in and out.

  1. Zoom using a mouse scroll wheel

If you’re using a mouse with a wheel, hold Control (or Command on a Mac) and scroll the wheel to zoom smoothly in and out.

  1. Zoom using the timeline scroll bar

At the bottom of your timeline, you'll find a scroll bar. Click and drag either end of the bar to zoom in or out.

Tip: If you hold the Option or Alt key on your keyboard while you zoom, you will zoom where your mouse is placed rather than where the playhead is located. Otherwise, elevate.io will keep your playhead centred to help you keep track of your place while zooming in and out on the timeline.

Adjust timeline or media window size

You can also easily adjust the size of your timeline by clicking and dragging the edges - you'll notice a blue line pop up when hovering over the area. The same thing can be done with your media window.
