Zooming and panning by touch


If you’re using a touch-enabled device, such as a Microsoft Surface, Wacom Cintiq Touch,
or multi-touch trackpad, you can use your fingers to zoom and pan. Touch gestures let you
zoom and pan in the Composition, Layer, Footage, and Timeline panels.
To zoom: Pinch two fingers closer together to zoom in, or move them further apart to zoom
out.
To pan: Move two fingers in unison to pan up, down, left, or right in the panel’s current
view.
