Avid media composer timeline6/27/2023 ![]() I'm getting more used to the way Avid does this, but for new users it must be a complete and confusing pain to have their timeline zooming and shifting without their weanting it to do so. I can understand why Avid zooms the timeline if I add a long clip, but if I have already selected a view that shows for example 30 seconds after the current clip/in point, and I add a single 6 second clip, I don't udnerstand why Avid both zooms and moves the cursor position. My suite has 2 x 27" LCD monitors at 1920x1080 resolution, with the timeline usually on the right hand monitor - if Avid moves the salient portion omf my work to the extreme right, then this is always at the screen position farthest from where I am sitting. I would be more comfortable with the timeline positioned so that I can see well beyond the end of what I have cut, with the cursor line in roughly in the centre. I don't understand why when dropping an edit or starting to play, the timeline automatically chooses another zoom level and almost always places the cursor at the extreme right of the timeline. Maybe I'm just no used to Avid yet, but after several hundred hours of cutting om MC, I still find myself using a lot of time to get the timeline view to match my needs.
