I've seen some videos in with with people using Ableton where the screen is following the "line" (don't know what it's called) that shows where in the project it is playing. In my Ableton I have to manually move the screen to see where it's playing, but I've seen others just pressing play and it moves automatically.
Here's a video of what I mean, you can see that when he zoom in the screen is following the "line":
I would like to know where I can enable that option, hope you understood and can help me.
Ableton: Automatically follow the project when playing.

To the OP - IMHO, Ableton Live has the best contextual help of any program ever.
Click Shift + ? to toggle Info View - this will pop up a menu in the lower-left corner that explains the function of whatever you're hovering over, even internal instruments/FX & Max for Live devices.
Ctrl(Windows)/Command(Mac) + Shift + F also does the same thing as clicking Follow in toolbar.
In Preferences menu you can set whether it scrolls continuously, or by "page".
