Adding and Deleting Tracks
In Final Cut Express, sequences can have up to 99 video and 99 audio tracks. Tracks
contain clip items, which are the individual media items that make up a clip. When you
edit, you arrange individual or linked clip items in a sequence.
Adding Tracks

can add multiple video and audio tracks at once.
