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.

1

With a Timeline panel active, choose Sequence > Add Tracks.

2

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.

To specify the type of audio or submix track you want to add, choose an option from the Track Type menu for audio
and audio submix tracks. (For more about audio channel types, see

About audio tracks in a sequence

” on

page 195.)

Click OK.

Note: An audio track can accept only audio clips that use the matching channel type—mono, stereo, or 5.1. If you’re not
sure what kind of audio your clips use, select the clip in the Project panel and read its information in the preview area.

You can add a track as you add a clip to the sequence. See “
