clips on the timeline – alter aesthetic
Ok, sorry for the deluge of questions but probably the last one as I am pretty much to where i would like to be before sticking my head in a proper tutorial.
On the timeline where the clips are placed, they are very tall, needlessly so for my needs and I could happily live with them being half the height thus enabling me to see more in the space. I don’t need (or in fact like) seeing thumbnail things on the video clips and the audio clips just have a lot of wasted green space above the sound waves (though on this file i have audio in the main track and the audio in the second a: track is a sensible height).
So is there a way to make them all half the height they currently are (a:2 excepted) so they are the same height as a:2 is and the thumbnails vanish? I can barely get 4 tracks on screen in the space at the moment and halving it will give me 6 or 7.
Cheers
And will buy a tutorial now so will leave you all alone for a bit.

Little light switch icon lower left of the timeline sets timeline appearance and has a slider for height.
All the best,

Tutorials are great (Ripple Training comes to mind) but don’t forget the free manual that comes with the application, it can answer many questions too.
Then there are the Apple courses 😉

Yes, I saw the ripple basic one and Ken’s basic one, am probably going to cough up for one of those now i have the basics in my head with regards to, well, what i wanted to be able to achieve. Any advice on which of those two are the best? Ripple’s is a tad cheaper and both seem very comprehensive.
