Tip #119: Move Around in Final Cut – Hands-Free!

There are better ways to get around than the Hand tool
The Hand tool (shortcut: H) allows you to move around the Timeline with just a click and drag.
However, if you have a trackpad or a mouse with a scroll wheel, you can move around simply by scrolling.
NOTE: If you have a scroll wheel that only moves vertically, press the SHIFT key to scroll from side to side.
You can also very quickly move horizontally by dragging the light gray handle at the very bottom of the timeline. (This handle only shows up if you are zoomed into the timeline.)
Finally, if you want to see your entire timeline at once, type Shift + Z.
For all these reasons, I can’t think of the last time I actually used the Hand tool.
Thank you . I did not know about using Shift with the Scroll wheel. Very nice.
Such simple stuff, once shown. My Q is where do you have TIME to find all this with all you do Larry??
impressed- !
