Working With Tracks
in the Timeline
In the Timeline, you view your clips horizontally (in
chronological order) and also vertically (stacked in multiple
tracks). You can add, delete, and lock tracks, and you can
customize how tracks are displayed.
This chapter covers the following:
 Adding and Deleting Tracks (p. 305)
 Specifying Destination Tracks in the Timeline (p. 309)
 Locking Tracks to Prevent Edits or Changes (p. 314)
 Disabling Tracks to Hide Content During Playback (p. 315)

Note: For information about navigating and zooming within the Timeline, see
“
Timeline Basics ” on page 111.
Adding and Deleting Tracks
In Final Cut Express HD, sequences can have up to 99 video and 99 audio tracks. Tracks
contain clip items, which are the individual media items that make up a clip. When you
edit, you arrange individual or linked clip items in a sequence.
