IMovie: is there a shortcut key to zoom timeline in and out?

iMovie: is there a shortcut key to zoom timeline in and out? I'm on imovie 11 version 9.0.4
posted: Tuesday October 30, 2012

The normal way to zoom in and out would be to use the thumbnail slider. I am not aware of any keyboard shortcut for this.
Here is a list of the keyboard shortcuts for iMovie.

Interestingly, in Final Cut Pro, there is a keyboard shortcut for zooming the timeline. For example, Shift-Z will scale the project to fit the timeline, and command+ and command- will zoom.

  • V570 - Is there a shortcut key to disable the Touchpad?

    V570 - Is there a shortcut key to disable the Touchpad?  Not a solid typist and i continually hit the pad which messes up my typing.  Would like to shut it off but be able to turn back on quickly.  Thanks!!

    I had this same problem and the F6 function key did not work. I also could not manually disable the touchpad via Device Manager. I reinstalled the touchpad driver and am now able to use F6 to disable, though I still cannot via Device Manager. I installed the Synaptics PS/2 driver for Lenovo V570c onto my V570 and it works.

  • Is there a shortcut key to lock my iPhone?

    Is there a shortcut key to lock my iPhone?

    I want it to require my passcode to unlock it.  However, I don't want to set my passcode time to less than 2 minutes.  Sometimes I am going to walk away from my phone and I want it to lock immediately but other times the 2 minutes is fine.

    Got the "apple firewire ntsc" choice to show up even if grayed out and "missing" under "audio/visual" menus by recreating choices in Easy Setup under "final cut pro" MENU thank GOODNESS because I was reading horror stories on here about this under another thread with someone trashing preferences, reinstalling and the works and still not getting it to show up...on my search now for an analog/digital converter up at b&h...find it odd that the s video connector wouldn't show the crt monitor when I put both displays through the 3870...I switched it back to see if it worked again when only the one dell monitor display was there and there it is again mirroring the screen display on my desktop...just can't be seen as an "external monitor" in fcp...couldn't find anything specific in the shane ross threads to this. I'm sad the program doesn't just see the s video connection though the 3870 though my computer does fine and will query up at b&h in regard to what might be affordable as far as a digital/analog converter. It's also weird in itself that when I put the two dell monitors on the one card my computer no longer could see the s video crt connection...makes no sense. Will report in later as to what I discover up at b&h as I'm sure there's a world of people out there using this sony crt monitor still even into the upgrades with computers and software so I imagine therein lies the solution. Thanks again and I'll report in as to what hardware might be suggested for me.

  • Tx2: Automatica​lly Zooms screen in and out continuous​ly. Help!

    I have a Touchsmart Tx2.
    When not doing anything specific with the computer (on the desktop and online) the screen zooms itself in and out continuously. It will not stop unless I shut down the computer. The mouse jumps all over the place, the icon that you see when you touch the screen and pinch to zoom in and out shows up, and it just starts zooming. My icons on my desktop are huge. My internet browsers and all other programs I use are huge. I don't know how to fix this. Please help!!
    I know some about computers but not too much. Ill try anything to make this stop.
    (BTW, have had this computer since April 2009)

    my keyboard also stops responding after using the llaptop for above an hour it works normally on next restart but again stops after a while

  • Is there a shortcut key command for 'export'?

    Hello all,
    I'm just wondering if there is a shortcut command for the 'export' dialogue box?
    The only information I seem to be bringing up in searches is 'exporting your shortcuts' to create custom shortcut keys.
    Thanks in advance!
    Zoe

    Yes and No!
    You have to create your own using the Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts command to enter your own shortcut.

  • Is There a Shortcut Key for Change/Find ?

    Hello and thanks in advance,
    Using the InDesign CS-5  Find/Change feature, I am always using  the Change/Find button.
    *** Is there a way to create a shortcut key for this option, Change/Find ? ***
    Since I use it so often, it would be good if it could be one of the "F" keys:  F1, F2 or whatever.
    I looked under "Edit --> Keyboard Shortcuts" ... but I could not find the option Change/Find there.  Did I miss it ?
    Thanks again,
    Zorba

    Here is what I have now done, based on the suggestions above:
    http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s90/robinwhitman/tech_support/id-edit-keyboard-shortcut s.jpg
    As you can see from the screen shot above,
    I have opened up the Keyboard Shortcuts Menu,
    Product Area:   Text and Tables
    In the Commands window I have selected:
    =====================
    Grep Replace wth Change to text and Find next
    ==============
    Now at this point, suppose I want to make the shortcut to activate this, the F4 key.
    I click to put the cursor into the cursor into the box that says, New Shortcut
    and then if I press "F4", it seems to be already taken by the Snow Leopard OS ... on my screen appears the Weather, calculator, calendar and clock.
    So I cannot assign the key and create the shortcut.
    Am I close to the goal here, or am I on the wrong track ?
    Thanks ... Zorba

  • Is there a Shortcut key to move a window with the cursor?

    After Yosemite it seems that the area at the top of windows shrunk and I have to look for a vacant spot to grab the window and move it around the desktop.  Is there a short cut key that you can enter and move a window using the cursor from wherever the cursor is on a window?

    Sorry, no. Only way to move the window is to place the cursor between the address box and icons on the left or right of the address box and grab.
    Best.

  • HT4614 How can I define shortcut keys to run apps, files and folders, OS X?

    Hi
    It could make work so fast by using shortcut keys
    For example using "option + command + Control+P" to go to "picture" folder.
    but cant do it in Mountain Lion
    is there any way to do that?
    Thank you!
    Safa

    To define keyboard shortcuts use the keyboard Preferences > Shortcuts panel in the Preferences.
    Create an Automatotor service, to open the folder you want,
    Install that service in your User Library "Services" folder (for example named "OpenPicturesFolder)
    Then bind that service to the keycombination you want.
    A simple service to open the "Pictures" folder could look like this:
    First, an action "Get Specified Finder Items" to select the "Pictures" folder,
    Then "Open Finder Items" to open that folder.
    You do not need to create a service, if there are already menu commands that do what yu want. Then simply bind the menu command to the key combination.
    Good Luck

  • Is there a way to zoom images in and out without changing the frame?

    It is easy to move an image around within a frame without touching the frame, but I have not found a way to zoom in and out without touching the frame. I'm working with a lot of images (Indesign CS6 for PC) and I need to do this a lot. Thanks.

    I don't know what is the correct terminology, but none of those things does what I want.  With the Content Grabber I can move the image and see where it is going and place it where I want it, and the frame does not move and is not changed in any way. I want something that does exactly the same thing with "zooming" in and out on the image.
    Shift-drag on the corners moves the frame.  In the Transform panel, in the lower box, it makes the image AND the frame larger or smaller. Neither of these is what I want.
    If I'm not using the right terminology, let me try to explain.  If I have an image that is larger than the frame, then I can only see a small part of the image inside the frame.  If I could zoom out on the image, I would then see a larger part of the image in the frame, but the frame would be exactly the same size and in exactly the same place (just like it would be when you use the Content Grabber).  If I could zoom in on the image, then I would see less of the image but in more detail.
    If I could move (like the Content Grabber) AND zoom without doing anything with the frame, then I could get the image just the way I want it inside an already-properly-placed frame in the most straightforward and simple manner, and be able to see what I was doing in the process. Dragging on the corners is basically trial and error because you have to go through several steps before you see the final result.

  • Assigning Shortcut key to "Zoom" no longer works in Finder

    I always assign a shortcut to the Window | Zoom menu option. It still works great in apps like Safari etc. But in Finder, it highlights the last item in Finder instead of applying ZOOM like it should.
    I am updated to the latest 10.6.2, still no cigar.

  • Are there any shortcut keys to switch between displays in screen sharing?

    I have been trying the option-command-1 & 2 shortcut but it doesn not want to work for me. Is there something I need to setup before doing this?

    I was talking about the keyboard shortcuts for the screen sharing app. I found out you need to be in Observer mode before using the option-command-1 & 2 shortcut.
