2. Enter a new name and press Enter.

You can also set the Use Track Counter preference to name tracks “Track 1,” “Track 2,” and

so forth. See “Behavior Tab” on page 159.

Nesting Tracks

You can break down complicated tasks into more manageable sections by nesting multiple

tracks. Another advantage is that you can place tracks within a hierarchy. When you apply a

filter, it creates a filter track nested inside a Shape track and one or more Shape tracks are

nested inside a 3D Container track.

Example 1 shows a Color Correction filter nested inside Track 1 which means that the filter

only affects the media on Track 1.

Example 2 shows the same Color Correction filter nested inside a 3D Container track which

means that the filter affects all of the Container’s contents, and therefore affects both Track 1

and Track 2.
