Hi Tony,

If your preview window isn’t full screen, right click anywhere within the preview window video and de-select ‘Scale video to fit preview window’ This will zoom in a bit, depending on the size you have the preview window set for. I’m not sure why you want to zoom-in, so not sure if this helps!

Best Regards……George

If the OP just wants to fill screen, this is from Vegas Pro online Help.
“You can also use the Windows Graphics Card device on a computer with a single monitor. When you enable the external monitor, the video preview will fill your screen.”
More in VPro Help > Preferences > Preview Device Tab > Windows Graphics Card.

It’s a shame that after all these years Vegas Pro doesn’t have such a basic function as zooming into the preview window. I use this a lot in Final Cut Pro X to make accurate placement when doing things like motion tracking or needing to see how a particular effect like sharpening is affecting the image. Hopefully MAGIX will focus on filling in core missing features rather than wasting time supporting the latest 3D craze like Sony did.
