In Track View, interactive Zoom controls are available from a three-button flyout. You can use the mouse to zoom your view of time horizontally (Zoom Time), vertically (Zoom Values), or in both directions simultaneously (Zoom).
Drag to the right or upward to increase magnification; to the left or downward to decrease magnification.
Zooming occurs around the cursor location.
It is important to note that:
- All three actions work in Curve Editor, but only Zoom and Zoom Time work in Dope Sheet.
- If you use a three-button or wheel mouse, you can also zoom uniformly in the Curve Editor by scrolling the mouse wheel, or zoom independently on each axis using Ctrl+Alt + the middle mouse button.
- In the Curve Editor, you can also zoom exclusively in time (left and right) or in value (up and down) by holding down Ctrl or Shift, respectively, while scrolling your mouse wheel.
- How you zoom and pan in the Key window depends on which interaction mode, 3ds Max or Maya, is active.
Note: In Windows 10, you must change the Scroll inactive windows when I hover over them option to Off to enable the mouse wheel zoom.
Procedures
To zoom in on time:
- On the Navigation: Track View toolbar, choose Zoom Time from the flyout.
- Click and drag to the right in the Track View Key window.
Your view of time expands horizontally in the Key window.
