Question
Now in Beta: Continuous Zoom and Pan now available in Premiere Pro
Please note: This feature has been updated, please refer to the ‘Updates’ section at the end of this post.
Whether you’re trying to move titles or graphics more precisely, checking a clip for unwanted artifacts, or getting a closer look at a mask that you’re drawing, starting with Adobe Premiere Pro 24.4 Beta you can freely zoom into and out of the Program, Source, and Reference monitors quickly and conveniently using the scroll behaviour of your mouse, trackpad, or pen and tablet. Additionally, scroll bars appear to show you the position of your content within each Monitor.
Details of this feature’s use include:
- When using mouse scroll wheels, magic mouse scrolling, and tablet scrolling, zooming is anchored to the centre of the monitor view. For these devices, holding Opt/Alt + Scroll lets you zoom into the pointer’s position onscreen, so you can zoom directly into any detail you choose.
- When using trackpad pinch, zooming is anchored to the cursor. In this case, holding Opt/Alt + pinch lets you zoom while keeping the image centred to the monitor view.
- Holding the Shift key while zooming with a mouse scroll wheel, trackpad, and wacom pen accelerates zoom so you can get where you need to be faster.
- Panning is also supported using Mouse Button 3, aka the scroll/middle button.
- At this time, no panning is available when using a trackpad. However, you can use the 'H' keyboard shortcut to select the Hand tool with which to pan the image freely.
Updates
The following changes appear post Premiere Pro Beta 24.4 Build 44:
- Zooming is always anchored to the position of the cursor, so you can easily position your pointer on or near a detail you’re interested in to zoom straight to it. This is true for all devices including Mouse, Touchpad and Pen/Tablet. Holding Opt/Alt while scrolling lets you zoom while anchoring the image to the center of the monitor view.
- Decimal zoom percentages are rounded to the nearest integer.
- To maximize the Monitoring area while providing a consistent behavior, scroll bars have been removed from the view monitor, but this has no effect on panning. To pan vertically and horizontally, click and drag Mouse Button 3, or press 'H' to select the Hand tool with which to move the content.
