Scale

At the top of the timeline is the scale. The scale is a precise measure of the total length of time in the project, and you can determine the start and stop time of each clip in the project by moving the scrubber to the start or stop of the clip. When you begin your project, the scale automatically adapts to the length of your first recorded media.

To change the scale magnification, use the slider in the lower left corner of the window. At maximum magnification, each line on the scale represents a single frame of video.

Move to any point in the timeline – or pan the timeline – by dragging the handle on the vertical red line, called the scrub bar. You can also use the left and right arrow keys to move the scrubber by a single frame.
