Scroll horizontally in a sequence in a Timeline panel
When you have a long sequence of clips, many of them are out of view. If you need to work on a clip that is out of view, you need to scroll
horizontally in your sequence in the Timeline panel. For each of these commands, the Timeline panel need not be selected, however, your mouse
should hover over the Timeline panel.
In Premiere Pro CS5.5, and earlier, drag the scroll bar at the bottom of the timeline left or right.
In Premiere Pro CS5.5, and earlier, with a Timeline panel active, press the Up Arrow key to move left and the Down Arrow key to move right.
The sequence will scroll left or right by the number of frames visible in the viewing area.
In Premiere Pro CS5.5, and later, scroll the mouse wheel.
In Premiere Pro CS6, use the Page Up key to move left and the Page Down key to move right.
In Premiere Pro CS6, press the Alt key (Windows), or Command key (Mac OS), and then turn the mouse wheel.

In Premiere Pro CS6, on Apple MacBook Pro computers, move two fingers horizontally on the Multi-Touch trackpad to navigate the sequence
horizontally.
Scroll vertically in a sequence in a Timeline panel
When video or audio clips are stacked up in tracks on the timeline, they can sometimes be hidden from view. If you need to work on a clip that is
out of view, you need to scroll vertically in your sequence in the Timeline. Do one of the following to scroll vertically in a sequence in the Timeline.
For each of these commands, the Timeline panel need not be selected, however, your mouse should hover over the Timeline panel.
In the right of the Timeline panel drag up or down in the scroll bar.
In Premiere Pro CS5.5 and earlier, position the mouse pointer over the scroll bar to the right of the Timeline panel and turn the mouse wheel.
In Premiere Pro CS6, place the mouse pointer anywhere in the Timeline panel and turn the mouse wheel.
Note: You can return mouse scrolling to CS5.5, and earlier behavior in Edit > Preferences > General Windows, or Premiere Pro >
Preferences > General, and choose Timeline Mouse Scrolling > Horizontal.
In Premiere Pro CS6, on Apple MacBook Pro computers, move two fingers vertically on the Multi-Touch trackpad to navigate the sequence
vertically.
Work with tracks
The video and audio tracks in a Timeline panel are where you arrange clips, edit them, and add special effects. You can add or remove tracks as
needed, rename them, and determine which to affect 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 Audio tracks in a sequence.)
