Adding Tracks
If your timeline doesn’t have enough tracks, you can either click the New Track button in the
track header or right-click anywhere in the track header and choose “Add Track” and a new
track will be added on top of the previously existing tracks.
TIP: Dragging a new clip to the undefined gray area at the top of the Timeline also
adds a new track.
Deleting Tracks
If you want to delete a specific track along with all clips on that track, you can right-click
anywhere in that track’s header and choose “Delete Track.”
If your timeline has too many empty tracks, you can right-click anywhere in the track header and
choose “Delete Empty Tracks” and all empty tracks will be removed.
Navigating Clips in the
Viewer and Timeline
Before you can start editing, you need to find which parts of which clips you want to use, and
define where in the currently open timeline you want to make an edit. The Single Viewer in the
Cut page has three options that let you choose what media you want to play through using the
transport controls found at the bottom.
Viewer Options
Three options, selectable via buttons at the upper left of the Viewer, let you control what the
Viewer shows.

 Source Clip: This option shows the currently selected clip in the Media Pool. This is
the mode the Viewer automatically switches to whenever you double-click a clip in the
Media Pool. In Source Clip, a scroll area appears at the bottom of the Viewer, the width
of which represents the duration of the currently open clip. A playhead within the scroll
area lets you scrub through the clip as a zoomed-in waveform and shows whatever
audio is playing within the clip. Handles to the left and right of the scroll area let you
reposition In and Out points within the clip to choose a section you want to edit into the
Timeline. These In and Out points can also be set using the I and O keys. Once set, you
can drag In and Out points to change them.
