Timeline view
Timeline view shows the positions
and durations of clips relative to
the Timescale. This view also displays up to eight
tracks on which you can place various types of clip:
• Video, plus full-screen disc menus, titles
and graphics: The video track contains the
primary visual material in your production. See
Chapter 5: Video clips, Chapter 9: Disc menus and
Chapter 8: Still images for more information.
• Original (or “synchronous”) audio: The
original audio track contains the audio that
was captured along with the video from your camera.
You can manipulate the audio clips on this track to
achieve various effects using insert-editing and split-
editing techniques. See “Insert editing” (page 89)
and “Split editing” (page 91) for more information.
