Scrolling Horizontally Through a Zoomed-In Timeline
It’s easy to zoom far enough into your sequence that you are only seeing a small fraction
of the whole Timeline. To see another portion of your sequence, you can drag the playhead
in the Canvas to move to a new location in the Timeline. If you want to see another
portion of your sequence in the Timeline without moving the playhead, use the Zoom
slider.
The area of the horizontal scroll bar encompasses the total duration of your sequence in
the Timeline. Gray lines indicate one-minute increments, while a purple line indicates the
current position of the playhead.
