116 Part II Learning About the Final Cut Pro Interface
 Playhead: The playhead displays the current frame location in a sequence. You can
also use the playhead to navigate through your sequence in the Timeline. For more
information, see “Navigating in the Timelineon page 131.
 Current Timecode field: Indicates the timecode position of the playhead. Typing a new
timecode number moves the playhead (as in the Viewer and Canvas).
 Zoom control: Lets you zoom in and out of the contents of your sequence in the
Timeline. Zooming in shows more detail in the ruler, and the duration between the
numbers in the ruler shrinks. Zooming out shows less detail in the ruler, but allows
you to see more of the total duration of your sequence in the Timeline. If the
playhead is visible, it stays centered when you use the Zoom control to zoom in on
the Timeline. If the playhead is not visible, the Zoom control centers the current
contents of the Timeline window instead.
Using the zoom keyboard shortcuts produces slightly different results. Pressing
Option-= (equal sign) or Option-– (minus) zooms in or out of the contents of the
Timeline no matter which window in Final Cut Pro is currently active. If one or more
clips are selected, they will be the center of the zoom. Otherwise, zooming centers
on the current position of the playhead.
Note: If you want to zoom in and out around the current playhead, make sure no
clips are selected in the Timeline.
