A way to zoom into the wiper, instaed of selection?

[rockman413]

Hi ,
Is there a way we can zoom in to the wiper, not zoom in to what we selectd in the track overview?

Thanks!

Click on the wiper icon, hold the control (or maybe it's command) and drag the cursor down or up.

Control click on the wiper head and drag up or down.

So I guess there's no way to zoom into wiper USING Shortcut like cmd+left or right?

Have you printed out the COMMANDS windows yet? That's the place to answer most questions like that.

I did , but I didn't found anything related to zoom into wiper in that....

Control click on the wiper head and drag up or down.

That doesn't work here - is there a pref that locks/unlocks the wiper's drag-zoom function?

It works in the Sequence editor (you have to hold down the Control key while dragging) but not in the Tracks Overview.
What Shooshie said- there are ton of zoom functions in the Commands window.
Assign some key bindings you like and zoom every which way.
I mostly use Command Left and Right Arrow, but you can assign specific zoom levels and then access them with a keystroke. It's all in the book and Commands Window.

Thanks - my mistake. I was trying it in the Tracks editor, and it's Win-drag in the Sequence editor here rather than ctrl. Alt-drag to scroll within the window range is interesting, but haven't found a use for that.

I don't use the Sequence editor as much as the Tracks Editor, nor do I use the drag-zoom functions - just testing it in light of this thread. I already have my zoom and navigation commands setup.

Remember that "Control" on the Mac is the bottom-left modifier key. (and bottom right on most full keyboards) I think on Windows it's called the WIN key, or something like that. When trying key commands posted here, you should try various ways, to see if MOTU assigned it differently for Windows.

I think you or perhaps a previous post is are confusing the two keys.

I use a Mac slim keyboard here (and have owned Macs in the past), and "Control" is the lower left and right key for Mac and Windows ("ctrl" abbreviated). The "Command" key (inside left/right of the spacebar) is what is mapped to the Win key on Windows systems. Shift and Alt ("Option") are the same on both.

I actually did try all of the mod-key options (alt-drag is interesting for window-range limited scrolling, but I haven't found a use for it). I always do as I'm used to programming my own mod-key alternate tool assignments in Nuendo.

Guess I had it backward. I always thought that the Mac's COMMAND key is Windows' CONTROL key. Makes sense that Control would be the same key on both.

I've used Windows for very little in my life. I once had a job doing teleprompting with a machine running DOS software, but it was so ridiculously awkward to use that I quit. There was Mac software available at the time which made the job a breeze, but the guy who owned it was a sucker for DOS punishment. He believed that DOS was the greatest OS of all time for business. This was in the late 90s and early 2000s, btw. There was also Windows teleprompting software at the time, but Windows liked to crash a lot, so maybe that's why the guy believed in DOS. That little bit of PC notebook usage was my only real foray into the Windows world, and most of that involved rebooting into DOS. So maybe you can forgive my ignorance about the dominant OS in the world.

No worries Shooshie - it is only a relatively minor discrepancy. I think everyone can figure out what we all mean if we mix up modifiers for the other platform.

I do not miss the DOS days either. Don't blame you for quitting that job.

No worries Shooshie - just minor semantics...

Thank God.

Major semantics really grind my gears.

I am relieved to hear that my typo did not unduly grind your gears. I have edited my fragmented comment to remove the unintended redundancy.
