FCP X updated...where'd the zoom slider go? D:

[KatyAdelson]

So...I finally caved in and updated Final Cut Pro X to version 10.3... I literally can't find things anymore, especially the zoom slider that lets you zoom in and out of clips quickly.

Before the update, it was located here:


After the update, where did it go?


(the little magnifying glass is a search box, not a zoom slider.. ) I tried to Google, but I only get a bunch of old FCPX info and screenshots. x_x All I can find is people saying to use the magnifying glass and click to zoom in and out. That's super annoying, and the zoom slider has to still be here somewhere!

I also tend to be super blind and miss things when they are right in front of me...so perhaps this is another one of those cases. Any help would be greatly appreciated! ^_^

This is why you stick with Windows Movie Maker

lol! They have their updates, too! I remember the update from Windows Movie Maker 2.1 to Windows Movie Maker 12 was an even bigger headache!

OK I just figured out how to expand and contract clips in the timeline.
On top of the timeline on the right side you should see what looks like a piece of film strip. If you hover it should say Change appearance of clips in timeline. Click on that and it should open a window. Second blue line down should have a magnifying glass at each end. Slid it to zoom in and out.

OhhH! There it is!! Thank you! ^_^ Kind of lame that the hid it away like that... I got used to using it, but I've also recently gotten used to using "command +" and "command -." I like their little slidy thing to make the video strip or audio bigger in the editing window! I dunno if it existed before in the other version, but it makes my life 100 times easier when I have to match up audio from my external microphone. ^^

I am still on the fence also. But I get used to doing something one way that is how I want to do it. But after sing it a few more times I guess that I will like the update.
