Working With Audio Tracks
When you add an audio file to your project, Motion creates an audio track for the file. In
the Audio tab of the Project pane, you can turn audio tracks on and off, select tracks,
mute and solo tracks, and control their volume and pan settings.
Any changes you make to an audio track, such as renaming or trimming it, do not
affect the source audio file.
Turning Audio Tracks On or Off
When you add an audio file to your project, it becomes a track in the Audio tab and is
turned on by default. You can turn individual audio tracks on or off in the Audio tab.
Turning off an audio track silences it during playback, and means the track is not part
of your final mix when you export the project.
