Activity Forums DaVinci Resolve Moving around the preview window

  • Moving around the preview window

    Posted by Daniel Christie on May 23, 2013 at 12:42 pm

    This may be something basic I have missed, but I have yet to work out if there is a way to move around the preview window when zoomed in or out to adjust power window placement.

    At the moment I can only zoom to the centre. Is there something like the ‘hand tool’, found in Adobe products, in Resolve (Light)?

    Thanks,

    Daniel

    Push and hold the centre mouse button.

    Thanks Peter. I’m using a Wacom, so I have re assigned one of the buttons on the stylus to centre click.

    I found it 🙂

    In the view menu > Zoom > disable “Allow mouse zoom”

    the simplest and most effective way is to just switch your viewer window to display a larger size (upper right hand side expand button) or workspace/ viewer mode…
    this gives you a huge area to play around in and i find it much easier than that sloppy mouse zoom…

    Need to zoom in and scroll left or right, Cmd-scroll only works on the vertical…

    Middle mouse button ( the scroll button). Press in and drag around the zoomed in screen x & y
