Chapter 4 Working With Tracks 53
Working With Tracks in the Timeline
As you add tracks to the Canvas, they appear as numbered bars in the Timeline. As you
apply effects to each track, they appear as unnumbered bars below the track.
Adjusting the Timing of a Track
When you add a track to the Canvas, by default it begins at the frame indicated by the
playhead. The duration of a track varies, depending on its contents. A track containing
text in a system font or a static image defaults to a duration of two seconds. The
duration of a track containing LiveType media or any imported movie depends on the
length of the movie.
These basic timing parameters are easily changed in the Timeline window by stretching
and moving the track bars. Delay and duration can also be defined in the Timing tab of
the Inspector, as can many other timing parameters.
