In CS5.5, the zoom in or out is in the bottom left corner of the timeline.  Where is the darn thing in CS6?  I see nothing at the bottom left.

    Okay, I cannot get the Ctrl to do anything.  What is it supposed to do?


    CTRL doesn't modify the behavior.  Shift will make it zoom faster, and ALT will make it scroll backwards.

    In Final Cut 7 you could, if I remember correctly, use command + for zooming in and common - for zooming out, way much faster and easier than having to scroll back and forth with knob under the timeline. Does this option exist in Premiere Pro cc ?

    I personally zoom in and out quite a bit

    alt + cmd + K    opening up keyboard layout

    (Me personally)     ---   Using D as Zoom in and S as out

    (Close to A which is all timeline select/Move and the basic V and C cut and scroll keys)

    Hope this helps!

    I am a director so most editors will love the fact that my cutting knowledge extends to only three or four basic hot keys! :-)

    Hey guys,

    Does anyone knows how do I define a keyboard shortcut for zooming in/out of the timeline?

    Hi Simanim,

    Choose Keyboard Shortcuts > Application > Sequence > Zoom In/Zoom Out.

    Thanks,

    Kevin

    Kevin thanks.

    Did that but it pans across the timeline and not zooming in...

    The zoom and the scroll bar have unfortunately been combined.

    Which is why, when you want to zoom in and out with the wheel on your mouse,it is easier if you hover over the scroll bar. Just for fun, check out what happens when you scroll as you press the Ctrl, Shift or Alt keys.

    Sorry. I didn't mean to be confusing. I was referring to more than the timeline zoom. Ctrl changes what you are scrolling if the cursor is over the sequence. You change from left and right to up and down.
