Adding, naming, and deleting tracks


The Timeline can contain up to 99 video and 99 audio tracks. You can add or remove tracks at any time, except for the Video 1, Video 2, Transition, Audio 1, Audio 2, and Audio 3 tracks, which cannot be deleted. New video tracks appear on top of existing video tracks, and new audio tracks appear below existing audio tracks. Deleting a track removes all clip instances on the track but does not affect source clips that you stored in the Project window. You can also change the name of any video or audio track. You cannot delete or rename the Transition track.

To add one track:

In the Timeline window menu, choose Add Video Track or Add Audio Track.

To add, delete, or rename several tracks:

1 In the Timeline window menu, choose Track Options, or click the Track Options Dialog button () at the bottom of the Timeline window.

2 Do one of the following, and then click OK:
  • To add tracks, click Add, type a value for Add _ Video Tracks and a value for Add _ Audio Tracks as desired, and click OK.
  • To delete tracks, select one or more tracks to delete, and click Delete.
  • To rename a track, select a track, click Name, type a new name, and click OK. You cannot rename the Video 1B track.
