Timeline Tracks
The timeline contains the following tracks:
Track Description
Video tracks contain your projectâs video clips and/or images
on the timeline. By default, there are two video tracks in the
timeline, but you can have up to 100 video tracks by adding
more in the Track Manager. Each video track in the timeline
may have an associated audio track for the video clipâs audio.
Audio tracks contain the audio in your project. The audio may
be the audio portion of a video clip on the video track, or a
separate audio track for music clips or other audio. By default
there are two audio tracks linked with a video track, and a
separate audio track for music, which is always at the bottom
track in the timeline. You can have up to 100 audio tracks by
adding more in the Track Manager.
The effect track contains any special effects that you want to
apply to your final video. Video effects in the effect track are
applied to all the video tracks that are positioned above it in
the timeline.
The title track contains the text title effects that appear in your
project. The titles you add to this track display over all the
content in every video track that display during their duration.
The voice track contains a narrative voice-over or other audio
clip.
The chapter track contains all of the chapter markers in your
current video production. This track displays when you are
within the Chapter Room. Right-click on the timeline and
select Show Chapter Track if you always want this track to
display in the timeline.
