Changing track color
When you add a track, Vegas automatically assigns it a color. This color is easily changed. This feature is
useful if you want to use color to organize similar tracks.
1. In the track list, right-click a track to display a shortcut menu.
2. From the shortcut menu, choose Track Display Color, and choose
a color from the submenu.
Changing track height
You can control track height by dragging the bottom edge of a
track in the track list. You can also change track height by
clicking the buttons on the track list.
You can also use several different keyboard shortcuts to change all track heights at once:
• Press or to change the height of all tracks in your project at once.
• Press to minimize all tracks. Press the key again to restore the tracks to their previous height.
• Press to make all tracks a uniform height slightly shorter than the default.
• Press to make all tracks the default height.
Resizing a track
You can resize a track by dragging its bottom or the right border. Place the mouse pointer at the bottom of
the track. The cursor turns into an up/down arrow ( ). Drag up or down and release the mouse to set the
desired track size. You can resize the width of the track list in a similar way.
