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 see the list of available choices, select Zoom Focus from under the View menu. Select the zoom focus you wish to use.
