Getting around the canvas

The Immersion Canvas is an infinite, pannable board. Everything you place on it (clips, stills, notes, generated images) lives in one space you move around freely.

Move and zoom

• Zoom: scroll the mouse wheel (or Ctrl + wheel); zoom anchors to the cursor. On a trackpad, pinch to zoom. Ctrl + = / Ctrl + - step the zoom and Ctrl + 0 resets to 100 %. The current zoom level shows in the top bar.
• Pan: hold the middle mouse button and drag, or hold Space and drag with the left button. (Holding Alt over the canvas instead opens the eyedropper / color loupe.)
• Fit / frame: click Fit in the top bar or press F. With a single video selected, F toggles between fit and 100 %; otherwise it frames the selection, or the whole board when nothing is selected. F5 always frames all content.

View slots

Park a view you keep returning to. Ctrl + 1 … Ctrl + 9 saves the current pan/zoom into a numbered slot, and 1 … 9 snaps back to it, handy for jumping between regions of a big board.

Select and delete

• Click an item to select it.
• Drag across an empty area to rubber-band (marquee) select.
• Hold Ctrl or Shift to add items to the selection.
• Ctrl + A selects everything.
• Ctrl + D duplicates the selection beside the original.
• Delete or Backspace removes the selected items from the board (your source files on disk are never touched).
