I have just downloaded Powerdirector 7 and all looks good however my timeline is squeezed to the bottom of the page to the point where I can hardly see it to do any editing.
There appears to be an option at the top of the timeline (or bottom of the media window) where 2 arrows appear I can drag the window up to enlarge it however it doesn't actually drag anything so I am stuck with a very small timeline and a very large media window.
What am I doing or what have I done wrong??
Thanks

OOOOPS..sorry just noticed that everbody had the same problem and from that I can assume they still have the problem.

I have sent a enquiry to Technical Support - 24/12/08

Hi Brian, you're not doing a thing wrong. You're a new user getting familiar with how PD7 works.

The way to "expand" your project so that you can see it is to adjust the way the timeline looks. If you look at the very bottom left hand corner of your project window, you'll see a small little slider with two clock faces at either end. If you click on the one to the right, it will expand the elements in the timeline. Clicking on the left clock will compress everything.

A lot of us are new comers to PD7, so don't feel badly; most of us are still learning around here.

I'm pretty sure he means the entire Timeline/Storyboard view area (not the time zoom functionality).

In which case there "Fit Timeline" button on the right-hand side.

Thanks again
