Vertical Movement
The ability to scroll vertically is built in, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to find.
There are multiple ways to scroll vertically in the Timeline in Final Cut Pro. Choose your favorite!
- If your mouse has a scroll wheel, place the cursor in the middle of the Timeline and roll the wheel up or down.
- Drag either of the blue scroll bars, one for video and one for audio, up or down at the right side of the Timeline.
- Use the up and down arrows at the right side of the Timeline.
- Although not technically scrolling, you can grab the heavy, gray bar in the middle of the Timeline and drag it up or down to reveal more or less of either the video or audio tracks.
