Zoom in function
« on: October 04, 2015, 02:44:48 PM »
When zooming in, it doesn't zoom in on the screen your looking at. It skips over and then you have to search for it. I'm using 4.2.13.

The zoom is was the way I designed it.  If you click in the waveform it zooms keeps that point in focus.  If you click on an effect it zooms into that effect.  If you click an effect edge that becomes the focal point of the zoom.

Robert, are you using the icons to zoom? I use double-clicking the waveform and it behaves as expected that way, the place clicked stays put as it zooms in. Shift-double-click zooms out, again keeping the part of the wave you click still.

I zoom by clicking where I want the focus and then holding down the control key while scrolling the mouse wheel.

Ok.
Couldn't remember how it would happen. Just did. Had this window open so I could jump in and type it out before I forgot.
So opened the program up. Started the sequence and started to work.  Clicked on the + magnifying glass. Got it to a point that I liked (zoomed in) and slid the bottom scroll bar. Then I found my spot where I was. Clicked on the + sign again and it JUMPED off the screen.

Now... probably user error. Maybe I should have clicked on the spot, then clicked on the + sign or just doubled clicked as you suggested.

Control-scroll doesn't work on Mac, wish I had that option.

You're not following what Gil said.  You need to single click in the waveform to create a focus point for the zoom to zero in on first.  Or just double click in the waveform to zoom into that point too.

No I am now doing the click on the waveform. I was just stating what it was doing before, which seemed odd in regard to what IT was doing. No. Clicking away on the waveform now.
