Why does Timeline sometimes look different?

[hcajones Profile Private message]

Occasionally, in PS Gold, when I switch from Slide View to Timeline, everything comes up in miniature in the Timeline row at the bottom. Tiny little thumbnails, tiny graphic of the sound levels, etc. As far as I know, this is just random. Once it happens, the only way I get a full Timeline view is to close the show and then reopen it.

It occurred to me that I might be doing something without realizing it. Does anyone recognize this situation?

This is a great site. I am liking PS more and more, and this site keeps helping me to get over small hurdles that might otherwise grind me to a halt.

Thanks.

The tab key toggles the view of the timeline and slide list back and forth. Notice the two tabs.

The view of the soundwave can be spread out more when that is in view if you have a mouse with the center wheel and by sliding the wheel up. This can help the user more easily time the slide changes to line up with the larger beats. Slide the mouse wheel down (back) to squish the soundwave together again and to see more of the slides in the timeline with the soundwave on it.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks. I must have been inadvertently shrinking Timeline with the mouse wheel. Somehow I had missed that you could either shrink or expand it, and I can see being able to expand it will be useful sometimes.

Thanks again.
