• Lock Track control: Prevents a track’s contents from being moved or changed in any

way. Overlays in locked tracks can also be protected by deselecting the “Pen tools can

edit locked item overlays” option in the Editing tab of the User Preferences window.

Locked tracks are cross-hatched all the way across the Timeline. Tracks can be locked

and unlocked at any time. For more information, see “Choosing Settings and

Preferences.”

• Auto Select control: Enabling the Auto Select controls of specific tracks in the Timeline

limits which tracks are affected by various functions such as copying, pasting, deleting,

the Match Frame command, and so on.

Note: You can think of In and Out points as limiting your edits in the horizontal (time)

dimension and Auto Select as limiting your edits in the vertical dimension.

Vertical Multitrack Controls

The following controls and areas affect vertically working with the tracks.

• Tracks: The main portion of the Timeline is divided into audio and video tracks, with a

divider between the two regions. You can drag the divider up or down to allocate more

room to either the video or audio half of the Timeline. Audio tracks 1 and 2 are just

underneath the divider, and all additional audio tracks continue downward. Video track

1 is just above the divider, and all additional video tracks continue upward. For more

information, see “Working with Tracks in the Timeline.”

You can change the default number of video and audio tracks in the Timeline Options

tab of the User Preferences window. For more information, see “Choosing Settings and

Preferences.”
