    How to keep a certain area of the composition centered in the Composition Panel when zooming?

    Posted by Bentley Ousley on May 28, 2015 at 5:27 pm

    I have a composition that is 4096 x 4096. I want to view certain areas at 100%. After I zoom to 100%, I can’t figure out how to change the Composition Panel view to show the area in which I am interested. There are no thumbs on the panel (like Photo Shop) and I can’t see how this is done. Any help would be appreciated.

    If you press/hold down the space bar, it will switch to the hand tool.
