System Preferences>Universal Access. There is a zoom function for the visually impaired.

All the best,

Works for me. I’ve been using it in trainings for years. You have to turn it on in System Preferences. Once it’s on Cmd-Opt-equals and minus will zoom in and out of the cursor.

All the best,

Tom

Seems to work here. You may have an FCP keyboard shortcut assigned to the same key-combo.
If so, change the FCP shortcut so it doesnt conflict.

Don’t even have to turn it on in preferences, I don’t think.

Hold ctrl down and roll your scroll wheel up (or down). Very quick and easy.

Would be nice, but it doesn’t work for me.

All the best,

Gotta have a mighty mouse and turn that on as well in mouse settings.

[Rob Grauert]

“apple + option + 8” toggles the zooming effect on the Mac on and off. then press “apple + option + +/-” to zoom in or out.

if you press apple + option + 8 and then try to zoom, you probably had the effect turned on and then just turned it off. so just press apple + option + 8 again to turn it back on then press the command to zoom in or out.

Works for me with a Microsoft notebook optical mouse.

Took me ages to find one that would work with the middle button properly in ‘Color’!

You have a weird mouse setup. I haven’t found a third=-party scroll ball mouse that didn’t work with Color.

All the best,
