Hi All

Can anyone else please confirm that when you right click the timeline to Adjust Video or Audio Track Height that it makes very little difference.

In PD 12 the difference between Small and Large was huge

Could this a Beta issue?

I found it varies according to the size of the top left window height. then the small/med/large makes a bigger difference.

Hi

My preview window is actually the same size as the one in PD12.

I have adjusted the size of the media library and preview windows to the ridiculously small and large and there is little difference on the Track Adjust size

Hi Neil,

I can confirm that.
Only - I wanted to doublecheck this moment- and suddenly I can't get PD13 started. Surprise!
"Concurrent user sessions are not supported" - whatever that means.

Edit; well, run as admin opened the thing,
and yes, I can confirm the thread issue.
No change in track heights whatsoever.

Nina

Yes - something's up - though I'm not seeing "No change in track heights whatsoever."

Here: Small = small, Medium = ~80% bigger than small & Large = barely any different to medium.

The same issue Neil & Nina have reported was present in some pre-release versions too. It's come back to haunt

Oh - & I just noticed the dedicated audio & title tracks follow suit. Has it always been like that?

Cheers - Tony

Same here, small to medium sizes ok but large only by a whisker.
Never noticed before as I drag my tracks to size with the mouse, you get bigger sizes that way. Asus P8Z68 Deluxe/Gen3 Mainboard : Intel i7 2700k @ 3.6ghz: 12 gb DDR3 Kingston ram:

What I notice in PD 13 track height is you can adjust the height of the Video Track and Audio track individually and the change in either one is not as great as the overall track height as previous PD versions.

There is variation but not a great change.

I also notice you can drag the track height better with the mouse. You can drag the video track separately and the audio separately.

Confirmed. Using right click does very little. Using the mouse to stretch it is OK. Win 10, i7
