Naming Audio Tracks
You have two choices regarding the way audio tracks are named in your sequence. Audio
track labeling can be changed in the Timeline Options tab of the Sequence Settings
window for each sequence (choose Sequence > Settings, then click the Timeline Options
tab).
• Sequential: This option labels each audio track consecutively A1, A2, A3, and so on.
Each audio track is identified individually.
• Paired: This option identifies audio tracks in pairs: A1a, A1b; A2a, A2b; A3a, A3b; and
so on. This labeling scheme is useful if you have a lot of stereo material and you want
an easy way to see the relationship between each stereo pair of tracks.
You can modify the way tracks are displayed in the Timeline in the Sequence Settings
window for a sequence. For more information on changing sequence settings, see
“Timeline Basics.”
Moving Audio Items from One Track to Another at the Same Frame
From time to time, you’ll want to move an audio clip up or down to an adjacent track,
but keep its In and Out points at the same location in your sequence. You might do this
to:
• Move a sound effect to another track to make room for another clip
