Just purchased 17 - setting up, and can't seem to figure out why I can't adjust the height of the audio track in the trimmer. I hope this is not a feature that was removed for some reason.
And yes @vkmast I'd read that First impressions thread. I want this Video & Audio Trimmer Tracks fixed. For 83.97% of the time I use Trimmer. How did this get out from under the BETA Testers? Maybe it didn't.
In some circumstances ("visual" scrubbing...), I'm having to "trim" on the timeline. Not fun at all.
@Jessariah67 - Exactly. I’ve developed my Vegas Narrative Skillset with the Trimmer at its Centre. Trimming on the T/L is what I just had to do. It’s Lumpy and messy.
... but I assume that there must come a time when MAGIX decides that the line is drawn and the next update adresses issues to a certain point, and new issues will be addressed in a following update. However, it would be well worthwhile listing in the update notes what known issues are yet to be addressed in the next update.
At this point, all I can say is that we are putting the finishing touches on the next update right now. We hope to start release testing on it very soon.
I don't have VP17, so can't tell you if this works or not. But from reading about this problem it sounds like the zoom buttons are not present on the user interface within the trimmer window?
Have you tried the zoom keyboard short-cuts?
While in trimmer window
Zoom height of audio waveform= Shift+Up/dwn arrow keys
Zoom horizontally= up/dwn arrow keys (Also the Mouse scroll wheel works for this)
I never used zoom buttons (I just tried the kyeboard chortcut, and that doesn't work, either). Mousing over the seam changed to a sizing icon (like you get when you resize any of the panels, tracks, etc.) Mousing over doesn't work at this moment in 17's trimmer.
I just saw if you right-click in the trimmer window, there is a command on the pop-up menu to "Show Video Monitor." If that's unchecked, you'll get a trimmer view that has an enlarged audio and video track. I guess to make the track larger or smaller after that, you would have to undock the trimmer window and then resize the window. There is also a plus and minus button showing to zoom the trimmer timeline. Although the trimmer video monitor is no longer showing at this point, you can use another menu command to show the trimmer video on the preview monitor (CTRL-P to toggle between timeline video and trimmer video).

Bummer. I was hoping it could be a temporary work around until the update. I prefer to work with the keyboard and mouse scroll wheel short-cuts especially for zooming and scrolling, I always found it a more efficient way to work but it does require digging into learning what those KB short-cuts are.
