You can add or delete tracks at any time and specify a custom name for each one. Each
sequence can contain up to 99 video and 99 audio tracks. However, a sequence must
contain at least one of each type of track, and sequences with audio tracks must also
contain a master audio track, where the output of regular audio tracks is directed for
mixing. You can also create audio submix tracks, through which you can direct other audio
tracks before eventually reaching the master audio track (see “Working with submixes” on
page 187). In the Timeline window, new video tracks appear above existing video tracks,
and new audio tracks appear below existing audio tracks. Deleting a track removes all
clips
in the track but does not affect source clips listed in the Project window.
You can specify the default number and type of tracks in new sequences. See
“Working with multiple sequences and nested sequences” on page 135.
To add tracks:
1 With the Timeline window active, choose Sequence > Add Tracks.
2 In the Add Tracks dialog box, do any of the following:
• To add tracks, type the number of tracks you want to add in the Add field for video,
audio, and audio submix tracks.
• To specify the placement of added tracks, choose an option from the Placement pop-up
menu for each type of track added.

• To specify the type of audio track you want to add, choose an option from the Track
Type pop-up menu for audio and audio submix tracks. (For more about audio channel
types, see “About audio channels and tracks” on page 173.)
3 Click OK.
An audio track can accept only audio clips that use the matching channel type—
mono, stereo, or 5.1. If you’re not sure what kind of audio your clips use, select the clip
in the Project window and read its information in the preview area (see “Viewing clip
information
in the Project window” on page 46).
To rename a track:
1 Double-click the track’s name to select it.
2 Type a new name for the track, and press Enter.
You can add a track as you add a clip to the sequence. See “Dragging clips into a
sequence” on page 130.
To delete tracks:
1 Click in the track header area to select the track you want to delete. You can target one
video and one audio track at a time.
2 With the Timeline window active, choose Sequence > Delete Tracks.
3 In the Delete Tracks dialog box, check the box for each type of track you want to delete.
4 For each checked item, specify which tracks you want to delete in the pop-up menu.
Moving around in the Timeline window
In the Timeline window, the time ruler measures sequence time horizontally, using the
counting method specified in the project settings (although you may toggle to a counting
method based on audio samples at any time). Tick marks and numbers indicating the
sequence time are displayed along the ruler and change according to the level of detail at
which you view the sequence. The time ruler also displays icons for the sequence In and
Out points. The lower part of the time ruler contains any sequence markers you set, as
well
as the work area bar, which is used to specify areas of the sequence you want to preview
