Displaying Detail in the Timeline
The scale bar stretches and contracts the Timeline area centered around the position indicator. This allows you either to zoom in to focus on a specific area of your sequence or to zoom out to display your whole sequence. This feature is especially useful when you have a lengthy sequence with manyáedits.

then zoom back to your original display:

Press the Down Arrow key repeatedly, or click the scale box and drag
it to the right.

the beginning and end of the current frame.
|
| 2. | |
Press the Up Arrow key repeatedly, or click the scale box, and drag it
back to the left.
