The following constraints apply when placing a clip on the timeline:

It is not allowed to drop a clip over the video area of the timeline. This rule
does not apply to a clip containing exclusively a video element.

Timeline audio tracks must be selected (from the check box).

Dropping clips into the timeline is only possible between the same types of

audio tracks. You will not be able to drop a stereo track on a 5.1 track.
Timeline audio track type must have been set according to the clip track audio
type: if the clip contains two 5.1 tracks and 2 stereo tracks, they must be set
in the timeline.

The number of clip audio tracks must not exceed the number of available

timeline tracks. A clip with 5 stereo tracks will not be droppable if a 5.1 track
has been set in the timeline, as only 4 stereo tracks will be available.

Only 5 audio tracks are available in the timeline. It is therefore not possible to

place a clip with more than 5 audio tracks. If the clip contains more than 5
audio tracks:

o

When you drag a clip from the Player onto the Timeline, only the tracks
selected in the Player with the track selection buttons will be added to the

edit:

o

When you drag a clip from the Clips zone to the timeline, only the active
tracks of the clip will be added to the edit.
