VCube offers a number of ways of navigating around a Composition.
Time Ruler
In the Timeline panel, under the Locator Bar , is a larger horizontal gray area with Timecode numbers and gradua-
tion marks. This is the Time Ruler. On the left, above the track headers, the Composition Frame Rate is shown.
The simplest way to move the Playhead Cursor within the Timeline is to position the mouse I-beam cursor any-
where along the Time Ruler and Click. The Playhead will immediately jump to the new position. You can also left-
click, hold and drag the Playhead Cursor along this bar to scrub through the cue.
[ Ctrl + Click and Drag ] In the Timeline moves the Timeline without altering the Playhead Cursor position.
Double-Click on the Time Ruler Zooms to the full extent of the Composition and deselects any selected clips.
Zoom
[ Alt + Click and drag ] in the Timeline varies the Zoom level. Drag Left to Zoom In and Right to Zoom Out.
Zoom In [ Alt + 3 ] Zooms In to Timeline with each press.
Zoom Out [ Alt + 4 ] Zooms Out of Timeline with each press.
Fit Selection Zoom [ Alt + 1 ] Adjusts the Zoom level so that the current selection
fills the full visible width of the Timeline.
Zoom Undo [ Alt + 2 ] Restores Zoom level to previous value.
These options can also be found in the Zoom menu.

Locators are an extremely powerful and intuitive method of locating, almost instantaneously, to any position in
the current Composition.
