Timeline looks like an accordion!

Post by flahagan »

I'm sure it's something very simple, but all of a sudden my lineline looks like nothing but pleats. I must have clicked on something I shouldn't have. Been using VideoStudio ProX2 for several years now and never had this problem.
Can anyone please tell me how to expand it back so that I can continue working on my project?
Thanks,
Joyce

First could you please complete your system information in your Profile found in the User Control Panel?

This is the first I've heard of this type of problem, and certainly never have had this happen on my systems. I would start looking at your video card, checking to see if there might be a driver problem with it. Try running some other programs to see if something similar is occurring. If not then your install of VS has somehow become corrupt, which would require reinstalling it.

Sounds like you have zoomed out of the time line view. Just under the time line there is a slider that controls the time line zoom.

Clevo, that's exactly what I did! I clicked on it by mistake when I was moving the marker for the timeline. I discovered it shortly after I posted the original cry for help, and was just coming back on to relate the resolution of my problem. Thanks for the help, though. I knew it was something simple- stupid, just couldn't figure out what I had done.

I was picturing something much worse, not thinking about the unit marks above the time line. I thought your whole time line, clips and all was looking like it was folded up..
