add or remove tracks as needed, rename them, and determine which can be affected by a procedure.

Add tracks
New video tracks appear above existing video tracks, and new audio tracks appear below existing audio tracks.
Deleting a track removes all clips in the track but does not affect source clips listed in the Project panel.
Note: You can add any number of tracks, limited only by your system’s resources.

In the Add Tracks dialog box, do any of the following:
•
To add tracks, type, or drag the hot text to, the number of tracks you want to add in the Add field for video, audio,
and audio submix tracks.
•
To specify the placement of added tracks, choose an option from the Placement menu for each type of track added.

Note: An audio track can accept only audio clips that use the matching channel type—mono, stereo, or 5.1. If you’re not
