Sorry for the dumb question. I know what it is and how to use it, just not the name of it.
I'm trying to give some feedback to Apple regarding it, and I'd like to refer to it by the right title instead "that zipper-looking thing that expands and shrinks the clip view". :-)

Timeline Zoom Slider?
FYI there is a quicker way to zoom the timeline. Press Command + or Command - one or more times to zoom in or out and if you want to make the whole of your video fit the timeline you can see at any one time press Command Z
A few more keyboard shortcuts you might find useful . . .
Don't drag a clip to the timeline, just select it, press the E key and it will fly magically down.
The J, K and L keys can also work miracles. With the timeline (or a clip in the Browser) selected, press L and the clip/timeline will begin to play. Each subsequent press of L doubles the speed . . . 2, 4, 8, 16 times and so on.
The K key stops playback and the J key works the same as L but in reverse.
It's a quick way to speed through a video when searching for something.
Hi,
I am running iMovie 10.1.12 and I can't find a control that looks like the one in your screen shot. Where is it located?
From your description, it appears to be a Zoom Slider.

Excellent tip! I didn't know that. Thanks, Ian!
Rich, it's all the way to the right in the project editing area. Yes, it's the zoom slider. Thanks.
Very useful! thanks!
You are very welcome.

Can someone tell me what this iMovie control is called?
