Using the Full-Screen Timeline
As an alternative to constantly scrolling through the Timeline window or resizing tracks to get a
view of the material, you can resize the Timeline window to full-screen display. You can also
enlarge the tracks to view complex audio or video layers in greater vertical detail.
A Timeline with reduced tracks wraps around to show more of the sequence. As you reduce
tracks in a full-screen Timeline, the sequence wraps around, allowing you to examine a long
sequence in greater horizontal detail.
