How to make timelines higher in VS X9

Post by rkstudio »

Can someone tell me how to make the tracks larger in VSX9? I saw a video in Studio Backlot, but the instructor already had certain things set up before the video started so I couldn't see how he had larger tracks. I'm talking about higher, not longer. I was able to do that with VS6 but it doesn't seem to work with VSX9.
Thanks,
Bob

There are three windows in Edit, the timelines, the library and the preview window. You expand the timelines by clicking on the "join" between the time line and the library and compress the library/preview section upwards. It helps to reduce the number of timelines to the minimum but they will scroll.

If your PC will run a second monitor then you can move one of the three windows to that second monitor. I have the preview window in my second monitor set to fill the whole screen. The Library and the timelines sit on my main monitor.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.

Ok, I got it. Thanks guys. One of these days, I'll get another monitor. I just wanted to see the transitions easier but I think you have to zoom in to do that. I thought it was because the timelines were too narrow. Anyway, it's good to know how to do that.

Thanks again.
