Which statement correctly describes the Detail Zoom feature?

• A. It displays the full timeline without changing the zoom
• B. It shows a fixed zoom for all edits
• C. It scales the timeline close zoomed view centered on the playhead for precise edits
• D. It toggles color grading windows

Answer: (C)

Detail Zoom focuses the timeline view on a close-up around the current playhead, giving you a magnified, high-detail area to work in. This makes precise edits easier because you can clearly see frame boundaries, sync points, and transition edges as you trim, adjust, or align cuts. It isn’t showing the entire timeline at once—that would defeat the purpose of precision—nor is it a fixed zoom that applies the same magnification to every edit across the project. It also has nothing to do with color grading windows. In practice, you activate a close, playhead-centered view so you can nudge frames and fine-tune edits with high accuracy.
