It's still not set up to be able to zoom out to the entire length of the timeline, as I suspect there is a point at which it's zoomed too far to be useful depending on your length?
Somewhat related..If im at say zoom level 3. How can I change the zoom and stay at the same point in the timeline. Using the slider left of the timeline the field of view always moves away to where I was just working?
I'm not sure that I'm following what you are asking here. Could you share a bit more details, perhaps how to replicate what you are describing (zoom level 3) and a screenshot would be super handy :)
I don't know what screenshot would illustrate the issue. I may have found a different way to accomplish what I want though using the playhead and wheel scroll.
What I'm explaining is that if I'm viewing the timeline at say 54 seconds, I want to move the zoom slider in and out and keep my view at 54 seconds.
Yes, though you'll see the result better if the timeline was much longer say 2 minutes? I'm guessing it zooms to the playhead...rather than current view.
That makes sense - and yes, it does appear that the zoom remains at the playhead versus the cue point that you've clicked on. It sounds like a good idea to pass along as a feature request!
Hi everyone. Sorry for reactivating a dead post. But I was curious if the timeline has been fixed by now.
As far as I can see 60 seconds seems to be the max zoom out possible. So anything longer than 60 seconds has to be scrolled to. Maybe I'm just using an unusual workflow because I come from a video editing / game engine background or I'm just misisng something.
But it would be really helpful to be able to see the entire timeline in one go.
Thank you for chiming in! It's so important that we are tracking the impact of this request, so no need to apologize. I've added your comments to our feature request! We'll keep you updated if this makes it on our feature request.

you can shrink and enlarge it using the slider on the right , but it is not possible to get the whole timeline on one screen for long timelines
has this been addressed in an update?
Hi Mark,
It's still not set up to be able to zoom out to the entire length of the timeline, as I suspect there is a point at which it's zoomed too far to be useful depending on your length?
You can totally do that by scrolling with your cursor right on top of the timeline, where the seconds are.

Hi Drew,
Thanks for clarifying! I think I understand, but to be sure, I recorded a quick video to demonstrate. Is this what you're seeing in your file, as well?

Center click on the timeline second scale and scroll goes to min and max. Can't minimum show the whole timeline?
I think I'll be reading this forum in 2030 and this and many, many other requests will be saying "13 years ago".
Hi Stacy,
Thanks for contacting us and sharing that you'd like to see the entire timeline when it's zoomed out as well.
I did a quick search and do not see where others submitted a feature request to our team. I've submitted one on your behalf.
I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful.
