Zoom into Source Viewer

PostThu Mar 26, 2020 10:17 pm

Hey everyone,
Simple question, and I feel stupid to even ask, but how can I zoom into the Source Viewer timeline where my in and out points are located? I got a 2h interview clip and which means when setting an in and out within a 10 sec time spam let's say, the in and out points look like 1 dot.
In Premiere I just actived the source viewer and hit + or - .

Hope there's a simple answer as it's so basic.
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
this seems to be a good question. I didn't find a solution, either, but it seems to be a valid problem.
If you don't get any answer, try to put it as a feature request.

Unfortunately, it's not possible.

You could give yourself some more space by only displaying either the Preview or Timeline windows. To switch between them use the Q key on the keyboard.

The problem discussed here and lack of solution is yet another example of the many small annoying useability issues in the Edit tab.
I wish BMD would refine the edit tab instead of adding more features.

It might help a little to switch the source viewer to audio, but that doesn't really behave as you might hope either - a simple zoom/navigate function on the audio there is not possible either.
Your best bet would be to make a timeline for your entire interview and make your selects from there, whether by in and our points or blading and selecting - then copy/paste to your other timeline.

BMD should add this feature... what a nightmare.

I'd suggest subclips.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.

Workarounds shouldn't be necessary for this basic functionality.

Also, where is our source tape volume control? Because OMG.

Does Media Composer have a source zoom? Not really - not in the source viewer IIRC. But you can view the source clip in timeline mode which gives you all the tools you would have to zoom in/out and playback the timeline, but for the source clip. Does Resolve have anything like that?

Exactly. These should be priorities.
