Zoom Focus

When zooming, there is always a change in what is displayed in the track display area. However, one position in the display will continue to correspond to the same point in the timeline, and there are several choices of how to define that point. The default behavior is to keep the left edge of the track display area constant. If it was at a position 1:12:14 into the session timeline before zooming, then it will continue to be at that position after zooming. Other points in the display that you can ensure are in the same position while zooming include the right edge of the track display, the center of the track display, the playhead and the edit cursor. Whichever of these is selected is known as the current zoom focus.

To change the current zoom focus, click on the combo box to see the list of available choices. Click on the zoom focus you wish to use. The list of choices will disappear, and the new zoom focus choice will be in effect.
