Working with Tracks
This section describes different ways you can change the state of tracks in the Timeline
as you work.
To lock and unlock a track:
m Control-click or right-click anywhere within a track, then choose one of the following:
 Lock Track: Locks all the shots so that they can’t be moved or edited.
 Unlock Track: Allows shots to be moved and edited.
Note: The tracks of imported XML projects are automatically locked. For the best
round-trip results, these tracks should not be unlocked.
To toggle track visibility:
m Control-click or right-click anywhere within a track, then choose one of the following:
 Hide Track: Disables a track such that superimposed shots are neither visible nor
selectable when the playhead passes over them.
 Show Track: Makes a track visible again. Superimposed shots take precedence over
shots on lower tracks and are selected by default whenever that track is visible.
Note: The Reverse Track Ordering setting in the Prjct Settings tab of the Setup room
determines whether superimposed tracks and shots appear on top or underneath.
Turning Reverse Track Ordering on displays superimposed video tracks the way they
appear in Final Cut Pro.
∏
Tip: Prior to exporting a project from Final Cut Pro, you can export a self-contained
QuickTime movie of the entire program and superimpose it over the other clips in your
edited sequence. Then, when you export the project to Color, you can turn this
“reference” version of the program on and off using track visibility whenever you want
to have a look at effects or color-corrections that were created during the offline edit.
To add a track:
m Control-click or right-click anywhere within a track, then choose New Track from the
shortcut menu.
To remove a track:
m Control-click or right-click anywhere within a track, then choose Remove Track from the
shortcut menu.
Note: You cannot remove the bottom track.
