page 147.

The name of an audio clip appears on the clip in the Timeline. By default, the entire
name appears on the clip if the clip is long enough to display it. You can change the
default behavior in the General pane of the Preferences window, so that long clip
names are truncated from the center. For information on setting preferences, see

Setting Clip and Track Colors

Soundtrack Pro allows you to set colors for clips and tracks. Setting a clip or track color
is a useful way to differentiate a set of clips from the rest of the clips or tracks in the
Timeline. For example, you could color-code your clips by category: dialogue, music,
and effects. This helps you organize your project visually. By default, video clips are set
to blue and audio clips are set to green, but you can change the color of audio clips
and tracks at any time.

There are four ways to set the color of a clip or a selection of clips.

You can change the
colors of audio clips
and tracks.
