For example, suppose you have a clip that contains a video clip item and two audio clip
items. If you drag that clip to a video track in the Timeline, the video clip item is placed
in the video track, even if the Source and Destination controls for the video track are
disconnected. Each audio clip item is placed in the corresponding Timeline audio tracks,
but only if the Source and Destination controls of those audio tracks are connected.
Dragging a clip to
this track edits in
both audio and video.
Video Source and
Destination controls
are disconnected.
Audio Source and
Destination controls
are connected.
If you connect nonadjacent Source and Destination controls, the source clip items are
edited into the sequence using the track separation defined by the Source controls. For
example, if audio tracks A1 and A3 are the current audio destination tracks, a clip that
you drag to the Timeline will always have one empty track between the two source audio
clip items, and will keep that one-track offset no matter which audio tracks you place the
items into.
For more information about Source and Destination controls, see
Use of Source and Destination Controls.”
