Timeline
The Timeline gives you a visual representation of a multitrack project, showing the
position of clips, the playhead, and other items in time. The Timeline is organized into
three groups of horizontal rows called tracks, busses, and submixes, as well as a video
track, a podcast track, and a Master bus. You can add and arrange audio clips in the
audio tracks, use sends to create auxiliary busses, and route audio to physical output
channels using submixes. You can control the sound of each audio track, bus, and
submix using the controls in its header.
 Previous and Next Selection buttons: Move backward and forward through Timeslice
selections you’ve made in the waveform display.
 Timeline editing tools: Select items using the Selection (arrow) tool, make time-based
selections with the Timeslice tool, split audio clips using the Blade and Blade All
tools, copy and paste attributes with the Lift and Stamp tools, and scrub the Timeline
with the Scrub tool. For more information, see “
