Automatically Adding Tracks to Your Sequence
While Dragging
You can drag a source clip to the unused space above or below the current tracks to
create a new track for that clip. If you drag your clip above the tracks already in the
Timeline, you’ll create a new video track. If you drag your clips below the tracks in the
Timeline, you’ll create a new audio track.
Clips with both audio and video clip items create both kinds of tracks by default, unless
either the video or audio Source and Destination controls are disconnected.
When you drag a source clip to a track in the Timeline, all the clip’s items are linked. The
track you drag a clip to always receives a clip item, regardless of whether its Source and
Destination controls are connected. However, additional clip items are only placed on
tracks whose Source and Destination controls are connected.
Dragging a clip
to the unused space
above the highest
track creates a new
video track.
