how to zoom out in on the cut page in davinci resolve timeline?

[avidgamer121]

i am using the latest 18.6 version. Is edit page the only option for me? i don't need all those advanced (just want to cut unnecessary parts) so i think it will be much that way.

You just want a basic zoom for a clip? In the cut page just clock on the tools for a clip, Then adjust the zoom.

Just a thought, but for basic editing, I find it much easier to just skip resolve. It's well, cumbersome. Especially if you don't use it much. For most things I prefer Openshot. If I'm just cutting out sections, Avidemux works too. Just a thought.

not that thing, i mean when you add your clip at timeline and it doesn't show fit to timeline option like edit section, but i am really liking it though, i was to my high quality production videos for my youtube so i will learn from tutorials.

THere are scaling options in project settings for it it should zoom to crop or default scaling settings. 

 

I find my self moving between edit and cut modes a lot when editing, and thats probably the best strategy here.
