Undo Zoom Tool’s Zoom-in? Restore to view before zoom

[Linda O’connell]

Try opening up where you made the change in track motion
then right click. There are two places that say restore. I am not sure which one it is, but it is one of them.

Thanks Linda, but alas, the restore options in the “track motion” window don’t affect the zoom level in the timeline.

I have found:

1. If I use the zoom tool on the timeline, but just look without making an edit, a left-click will restore the track heights and time-zoom-level.

2. There is a script “SetZoomLevel” so you can restore back to a preferred time-zoom-level (for example, a one-minute width on the visible timeline).

BUT

I have not found a script or method to restore the track heights.

To reset Track Heights to default: Ctrl+’

Any good?

Grazie

“Default track height” is better than nothing, but not what I’ll say we all need. I’m seeking “previous track heights”, since I may have set some tracks shorter than default and some taller.

That said, Ctrl+’ did nothing. I checked “Customize Keyboard” and searched for “track height”, found nothing, then browsed through the results for “track”, and found nothing relevant.

“That said, Ctrl+’ did nothing. ” – Oh really? I’m surprised?

We also have:

a) Decrease height of all tracks – Ctrl+Shift+Down Arrow

b) Increase height of all tracks – Ctrl+Shift+Up Arrow

c) Minimise all tracks – ‘

But, and here’s the thing, and don’t tell anybody else, but . . . if you have, say 3 tracks at different heights and you hit the ‘ they ALL minimise BUT if you hit the ‘ AGAIN, then the tracks go BACK to their previous 3 separate, individual heights.

I mistook ` for ‘ (back-tick for apostrophe).
Yes, Ctrl+backtick sets all to the same default height.
And yes,
thank you,
backtick minimizes, and backtick again restores tracks’ individual heights – even if I made edits after minimizing.

Alas, it’s still not what we surely all could use – zooming in to see details, making an edit or two, then restoring tracks to their individual heights.

P.S. To reduce the number of times I need to zoom in, I added custom keyboard shortcuts: alt-left to go one frame left, alt-right to ….

Jill, you are most welcome.

We could do with MANY things!

Might I suggest, if you don;t already posses one, and this is concerning your “find” of the frame<>frame editing – yeah?

“P.S. To reduce the number of times I need to zoom in, I added custom keyboard shortcuts: alt-left to go one frame left, alt-right to …. ” Get yourself a Contour Shuttle Pro (CSP) – marvellous!! It does MASSIVE scrubs and Frame by Frame creeps too.

CSP? Wouldn’t leave the house without it!
