Zoom in on audio track?

Is there any way to zoom in specifically on the audio track?

I find it difficult to adjust the volume along the audio track, especially when you need to reduce the volume significantly - it's too small on my screen...

?

Unfortunately, there is no way to make it bigger...
But there are other ways in PowerDirector: Keyframing. To set keyframes, there are some methods in PowerDirector.
I made a little video for you to explain.
You can also change the volume in AudioDirector or WaveEditor, I don't explain those ways here. You can also use the automatism of audio ducking, I don't explain it here.

Hi,

You don't say how much bigger you need it!

Each audio and video track can be made bigger by grabbing the track lower boundary in the index column and dragging it to size.

There is a relatively narrow limit, it is not unlimited, but it does make a difference. Together with expanding the timeline to a maximum 1 frame resolution this gives enough for most purposes, I think?

The 2 attachments show the difference.

Cheers

Hatti.


Wow - thank you for that video - actually the very 1st part where you make the audio track taller is what I needed...

Thanks!
