tutorials on timeline navigation beyond shift-z & Command +/-? and customizing?
hi all,
I’ve been learning a lot lately, but one thing that has me stumped is faster navigation in the timeline. The zoom focus on the play head, etc etc..
I’ve searched a few hot/key/combo style posts on line but haven’t found more than the shift-z (zoom out) and the control +/- for zoom in and out.
Does anyone have a good tutorial on this, or even some key commands I’ve missed?
And, does anyone customize their settings in a way you find more intuitive (and would be willing to share such insider information)?

I mapped ctrl-(up arrow) and ctrl-(down arrow) on my full keyboard for zooming. Also the zoom tool is pretty good for quickly zooming into the size you need by hitting z then drag out a box that includes the edits or range you want to see. I’m starting to use this more and more because you can keep one hand on the mouse, the other on the keyboard. And you don’t have to keep hitting the keys to get to the zoom level you want – it just goes there.

Thanks Jeffrey,
Now I actually feel pretty silly not using the zoom tool already.
That’s perfect, and I should have seen this obvious technique a long time ago.
THANK YOU!!
The ‘Z’ then select boxes is a huge time saver.

Premiere CS6 takes it further in that it’s hotkey actually toggles back and forth. Too bad the zoom out full key is the key. Have to either take your hand off the mouse or take your left hand all the way across the keyboard.

We have Premiere here, so I’ll have to give that a look!Thoreau
