Editing With Audio Tips

When editing with audio, it is common to create additional tracks that you will want to
remove later on.

Deleting Tracks

You can delete tracks from any sequence at any time. You can delete tracks one at a
time, or you can delete multiple video and audio tracks at once. If you delete tracks
with video that’s linked to audio, the video is deleted along with the video track, but
the associated audio is left alone, and vice versa.

Note: If you delete the wrong track, you can use the Undo command to restore it.

To quickly delete a single track in a sequence:

m

Control-click anywhere in the track header (the Timeline column containing each track’s
name and its destination track controls), then choose Delete Track from the shortcut menu.

If you’ve added more tracks than you intend to use, you can delete several empty
tracks from a sequence in the Timeline at once.

Control-click in the track
header to access the
shortcut menu.
