Track Layering
Audio layering is a special audio editing mode that lets you superimpose multiple audio clips in
the same track, with audio clips edited into the top layers muting overlapping sections of audio
clips appearing on lower layers. With audio layering enabled, superimposed audio clips are
treated similarly to superimposed video clips that have opacity set to 100%, with clips on top
obscuring (or muting) clips underneath.
Turning on track layers opens up space to edit more audio into each track
Audio layering is incredibly useful for any situation where you’re combining segments of
multiple takes together to create a single voiceover, audio vocal track, or dramatic performance,
as you can choose which segments to use via their superimposed position in the stack of clips
appearing in that track, while at the same time you’re preserving the other takes underneath in
case you might want them later.
TIP: Track layering can be enabled for audio tracks on the Edit page as well.
Switching Among Multiple Timelines
Timelines can be organized like any other clip in the Media Pool. To open or switch among
timelines, use the following procedures.
