Any way to magnify/zoom in on the PREVIEW screen?
I’m drawing a Mask, using the Pen tool, then I have to drag the Anchor-points to their correct place. Using the Preview screen to “eyeball” where these anchors must go.
The anchors really need to be very precisely located (to fulfill their function on the Preview).
I’d love to be able to magnify or zoom in on my Preview screen for this painstaking work.
I’ve got two monitors going here, and my Preview takes up one whole monitor.
Thoughts?
Thanks, DAVE

When drawing or adjusting your mask, you need to have the Event Pan/Crop window open. With this window you should be seeing the same thing that is in the preview. Make sure you have ‘Synce Cursor’ enabled, located toward the lower left of the event pan/crop window. Now in this window you can zoom in/out with the mouse scroll to be more accurate. Use control + drag mouse to move the image around without zooming out.

Thanks, James, but as it turns out, its my full composite I’m interested in keeping my eye on…
As I understand it, the Pan/Crop window only allows one to see the immediate Event/Layer one is working on. in this particular case, my masked object is just a boring generic Solid Color generated media… hard to guide by…
In my particular case here, I need to have my Mask (PAN/CROP window) line up precisely with other aspects of my entire composite (seen in the Preview), hence my OP question…
Thanks, DAVE

Dave, I don’t know if this will help but you can mute any unnecessary tracks so that only the desired one will show through.

Sorry Dave. I see what you mean now. For compositing like that I think you’ll need After Effects or a similar program. I’ve never had the need to nest project but I’m wondering if this could be a workaround for you. Have everything but your generated solid media nested. Then open your nested project in with pan/crop and mask what you need. Not sure if that will help but give it try.
