 Audio View Options: Three buttons govern the look of audio waveforms in the
Timeline, when visible.
–
Non-Rectified Waveform: Lets you toggle between the waveform being drawn from
the bottom of the audio track up, or centered and mirrored about itself.
–
Full Waveform: Hides the divider bar that keeps the waveform separate from the file
name area of each audio clip, so the waveform occupies the full space of each audio
bar in the Timeline.
–
Waveform Border: Draws a dark border around the edges of each waveform to
make them easier to see.
 Video track height slider: Lets you resize the size of all video tracks at once,
independently of the audio tracks.

Modifying Timeline Tracks
When you’re getting ready to edit clips into the Timeline, you need to make sure you’ve got
enough tracks to do the job. The following procedures cover the different methods available for
adding, removing, and rearranging tracks as you work. These commands are all available via
the contextual menu that appears when you right-click anywhere in the Timeline header area
(the header of the Timeline is the area to the left where each track’s various buttons and
controls are located).
Methods for adding, deleting, and rearranging tracks:
 To add a track to the Timeline: Right-click anywhere in the Timeline header and
choose Add Track. If you add an audio track, you can choose what type of channel
mapping you want. For more information about audio track channel mappings, see
Chapter 36, “Working with Audio in the Edit Page.”
 To add multiple tracks to the Timeline at a specific position: Right-click anywhere in
the Timeline header and choose Add Tracks. When the Add Tracks dialog appears,
choose the number of video and audio tracks you want to add, choose the position you
want to insert the tracks above or below, and choose the Audio Track Type you want to
add if you’re adding audio tracks. When you’re done, click “Create New Tracks.”
