User Manual

The Tracks panel shows a row of information for
each of the tracks in the Timeline
If you have MPEG-H enabled for immersive audio authoring, additional columns appear
in this panel.
When MPEG-H is enabled in the Project Settings, the Tracks panel shows additional columns of
information for defining each track in the Timeline
These columns include:
 Track Type: Allows definition of either a static component or a dynamic object. When
dynamic is selected, the dynamic track-level pan automation from that track is also
exported. Only a track can be set to dynamic.
 Kind: A content type label, such as mixed content, music, dialogue, effect, etc. When
Kind is defined for a bus (rather than the default state of Undefined), that bus is
automatically bounced during the export process.
 Language: The content-specific language for that track.
 SW Group: Allows the track to be assigned to a user-defined switch group. A switch
group allows the track to be grouped together with other tracks in the final content,
forming an selectable item when rendered. For eample, a switch group of dialogue,
containing an English and a Chinese language track, could allow the user to select
between these languages on playback. In order to define a switch group, click that
track’s cell in the SW Group column, and choose “Sw Groups…” to open the Switch
Groups Manager window, which lets you create new switch groups.
