@formingus Hi, when zooming using the mouse wheel the timeline cursor centres on the timeline, is that what you mean?

Presumably you are referring to cropping in Pan/Crop - yes?

Please explain what exactly you mean by zooming the timeline. The Pan/Crop timeline? The edit timeline? It's not all that clear what you are trying to describe.

Not Pan or Crop.

Simple, while i work on a timeline, and let's say I cut a video with "S". When i zoom the timeline on part that i just made CUT, the cut part will go away and i need to search it with a slider to find it on timeline.

Timeline zoom does not happen at my cursor position. It starts there but when i finish zooming timeline is empty so i need to search for my video Do you understand me? Sorry for my bad English. If still do not understood me i will try to make small video to explain mine problem

So you're saying you're zooming out on the timeline and the cursor position is moving from the center to the left. That's because you're zooming out all the way and the cursor position is on the left side of the project. It has to move because there is nothing on the timeline left of the beginning of the timeline.

@formingus Hi, i tried to see the no's on the timeline but sorry it's really hard to see from that video, too fast & too small, if i enlarge the video & it gets all blurry, try rendering & uploading @ Magix AVC1920x1080 default settings

Partialy correct but is not solution, it will still move even if its full timeline

The cursor will always run in the middle - If I scroll at middle its OK, but if i move somewhere else when i start zooming cursors will go back at middle

@formingus That looks normal, the no's on the top of the timeline jump around a bit so hard to see exactly but the main time at the top left of the timeline doesn't change from where you put the cursor, the Frame number at the bottom of the preview screen doesn't change, & also the image in the preview screen doesn't change.

Wherever you put the cursor then scroll it will centre it & move the timeline accordingly, unless the timeline is already at full length, when you edit a clip put the cursor in the middle of that clip then scroll & Vegas will put it 'centre stage'

Maybe is normal for Vegas but this is not the same as other video editors.

I think developers should pay attention on this -

Anyway, i thought i have some problem or maybe i change something at options. hile you are saying that is normal Vegas behavior , then OK, Thanks

This just goes to show that one man's meat is another man's poison (no PC there at all - it's an age old adage). The centering of the curser on the timeline in Vegas Pro has been lauded in the past as one of the great advantages of editing in Vegas Pro and suggested that is something that other NLEs should adopt. When using other video or audio editors, centering is something that I miss and actually get annoyed about.

I must disagree with your post. Why? Because Me or others will scroll to zoom in order to work on that part.

If the cursor go in the middle then we should return the cursor back - So time and click more - where is advantage hear!!!

There may be a language barrier in place here. E.g. I don't think we cut a video with "S".

It's not the same case, it's totally different matter using a shortcut and moving the slider to the center.

BTW i am cutting with mouse
