Working in the Timeline

Moving and Copying Tracks, Busses, and Outputs

As you work on your project, you may want to rearrange tracks, busses, and outputs.

You can move and copy them to change their vertical arrangement in the track, bus,

or output section of the Timeline. You cannot move one to the area for another

(as indicated by the rows labeled “Tracks,” “Busses,” and “Outputs” in the Timeline).

You can only move or copy one track, bus, or output at a time.

To move a track, bus, or output:

Drag the track, bus, or output drag handle up or down to a new vertical position.

A light blue horizontal line in the header area indicates the place the track, bus, or

output will be moved to when you release the mouse button.

To copy a track, bus, or output:

Option-click the drag handle in the header for the track, bus, or output, then drag it up

or down.

A copy of the track, bus, or output appears when you release the mouse button.

Renaming Tracks, Busses, and Outputs

By default, tracks are numbered when created, and take the name of the first audio clip

you add to them. Busses and outputs are numbered starting from one (Bus 1, Out 1,

and so on). You can rename a track, bus, or output and use the names to distinguish

the type of audio it contains (for example, dialogue, voiceovers, music, or sound

effects), its part in the overall project, or to identify it in some other way.

To rename a track, bus, or output:

Click the name field in the header for the track, bus, or output and type a new name.

Changing a Track, Bus, or Output Icon

You can choose a new icon from the icon grid, or add your own image to the grid.

To change the icon for a track, bus, or output, do one of the following:

Click the icon, then select a new icon from the icon grid that appears.

Drag a graphics file from the Finder to the icon.
