WORKING WITH TRACKS CHP. 5
Deleting a track
You can delete a track from your project and all of the events contained on it. You can delete one track or
select multiple tracks to delete.
1. Select the track that you want to delete. To select multiple tracks, click each one while pressing to
select a range of adjacent tracks or to select discontinuous tracks.
2. From the Edit menu, choose Delete.
Tip: You can also delete a track by selecting it and pressing
.
Naming or renaming a track
Every track in your project has a scribble strip where you can type a name for the track. The track name may
be up to 255 characters long. If the scribble strip is not visible, you may need to increase the height or width
of the track by dragging the track’s edge to reveal it. For more information, see Changing track height on page
103.
1. Double-click the scribble strip. Any existing name is highlighted on the
strip.
2. Type the new track name.
3. Press to save the track’s name.
Organizing tracks
Vegas is flexible in how tracks can be organized. You can arrange and resize tracks to fit your particular needs.
Reordering tracks
When you create tracks, Vegas arranges them in the order that they were added. It is a simple process to
reorder tracks to fit your needs. You may reorder one or more tracks at a time.
Note: Track hierarchy can be critical in video compositing.
For more information, see Compositing on page 188.
1. In the track list, place the mouse pointer on the track that you want to move.
2. Drag the track to the new position in the track list.
Tip: When moving a track, you may want to place the
mouse pointer on the track number when dragging. This helps
avoid accidental modifications to other track list controls.
