Moving and Copying Tracks, Busses, and Submixes
As you work on your project, you may want to rearrange tracks, busses, and submixes. You
can move and copy them to change their vertical arrangement in the track, bus, or submix
section of the Timeline. You cannot move one to the area for another (as indicated by the
rows labeled “Tracks,” “Busses,” “Submixes,” and “Master” in the Timeline).
You can only move or copy one track, bus, or submix at a time.
To move a track, bus, or submix:
m
Drag the track, bus, or submix header up or down to a new vertical position.
A light blue horizontal line in the header area indicates the place the track, bus, or
submix is moved to when you release the mouse button.
To copy a track, bus, or submix:
m
Option-click in the header for the track, bus, or submix, then drag it up or down.
A copy of the track, bus, or submix appears when you release the mouse button.
Renaming Tracks, Busses, and Submixes
By default, tracks are numbered when created and take the name of the first audio clip
you add to them. Busses and submixes are numbered starting from 1 (Bus 1, Submix 1,
and so on). You can rename a track, bus, or submix and use the names to distinguish
the type of audio it contains (for example, dialogue, voiceovers, music, or sound
effects), its part in the overall project, or to identify it in some other way.
To rename a track, bus, or submix:
m
Click the name field in the header for the track, bus, or submix and type a new name.
Note: You cannot rename the Master bus.
Changing a Track, Bus, or Submix Icon
You can choose a new icon from the icon grid or add your own image to the grid.
To change the icon for a track, bus, or submix, do one of the following:
m
Double-click the icon, then select a new icon from the icon grid that appears.
m
Drag a graphics file from the Finder to the icon.
