Thanks for reporting this!

Currently there is no way to manually zoom or scroll in the timeline, it is zoomed to fit the length of the content.

The timeline in your example have an infinite (∞) duration, if you give your second scene a fixed duration, the viewport might behave a little more like you would expect:

Pull requests are welcome though! I can definitely see the benefit of being able to move and zoom in the timeline view.

Thank you for your answer. I understand, I will accommodate this operation while waiting for an improvement.

I would find this feature useful as well. In my case, I have a sequence that is a couple of minutes long and I'm adding camera cuts for a specific sequence, and it becomes quite difficult to select the shorter items when they are shown at the scale of the whole timeline. If you add the ability to zoom in and scroll, It'd also be nice if the view would follow the playhead when you playback the sequence, but certainly not essential.

Perhaps when we had a scene, superconductor could detect the length of the video in a media source, with the repeat box unchecked or not dependent on the network to set an end automatically ( which can be disabled by an option). If there are several videos in a scene, it asks you to take the reference media source to adjust the timeline automatically. It would be interesting if superconductor continually queried the media source to find out what progress had been made in playing the video after pressing start (every 1 second, for example, to avoid flooding and lagging or crashs problems? ).
