The Timeline is where you arrange audio clips to build your soundtrack. You can also
adjust volume and panning, add effects, and edit envelopes to control automation. You
can select, cut, copy, and paste clips, move, resize, transpose, split and join them, and
edit them in other ways.
This chapter covers the mechanics of working with clips, tracks, busses, and submixes in
the Timeline.
