Hi, I was just editing and I don't know what I pressed but my timeline tracks became small and I don't know how to turn it back to normal. Please help!

To expand/contract tracks horizontally (zoom in/out): You can press the +/- keys. The \ key will expand to show you the full timeline. You can also use the modifier key Alt/Option and your mouse scroll wheel to zoom in/out horizontally in the timeline.

 

To expand/contract tracks vertically: You can hold Shift and use your mouse scroll wheel over to the left side of the Timeline in the track controls area as seen in this gif:

You can also manually expand/contract the tracks in this area with your mouse.

Do you mean the track heights were reduced, or that the timeline length shrank?
