Setting Clip and Track Colors

Soundtrack Pro allows you to set colors for clips and tracks. Setting a clip or track color
is a useful way to differentiate a set of clips from the rest of the clips or tracks in the
Timeline. For example, you could color-code your clips by category: dialogue, music, and
effects. This helps you organize your project visually. By default, video clips are set to blue
and audio clips are set to green, but you can change the color of audio clips and tracks
at any time.

You can change the
colors of audio clips
and tracks.

There are four ways to set the color of a clip or a selection of clips.

To set the color of a clip
Do one of the following:

µ

Select the clip in the Timeline or the Bin, choose Clip > Color, then choose a color from
the submenu.

µ

Control-click the clip in the Timeline or the Bin, choose Color from the shortcut menu,
then choose a color from the submenu.
