    Guys, I’m looking all over for this. When I’m zoomed in on something in the editing window above the timeline, how do I move around to look at other things while I’m zoomed? In Photoshop, I would just hold the shift bar down and then click-drag, but the shift bar here causes the playback to start. I can’t seem to find the proper key combo to hold while click-dragging.

    Super simple I’m sure. Maybe I haven’t had enough coffee this morning. Ugh.

    I used incorrect terminology in my post. It’s the Program Monitor where I’m looking to move around while zoomed, not Editing Window as I stated.

    Would be nice if they would incorporate that functionality, but alas, you must resort to the scroll bars at the right and bottom of the monitor.

    Thanks, Steve. Unfortunately, I don’t have any scrolls on my PM. I’d be perfectly content using them if I had them 🙂

    There’s got to be some setting that I just don’t have switched on to see these scrollbars, but I can’t find it for the life of me.

    Disregard!!! My workspace colors are all close shades of black, and I just couldn’t see those bars. Now it’s time to figure out how to change the contrast a little. Thanks again.

    Use the hand tool.

    Dammit to hell. It was there staring me in the friggin face the whole time. Like I said, simple question, simple answer. Really, I don’t know how much more like a hand that hand tool could’ve looked. Ugh. Thanks for this.

    I spoke too soon. The Hand Tool actually moves your media around inside the frame, it doesn’t simply move your viewport, such as in Photoshop.
