92 Appendix An Introduction to the Soundtrack Pro Interface
Arranging the Soundtrack Pro Interface
Soundtrack Pro is customizable: you can rearrange the Soundtrack Pro tabs, hide and
display areas of the interface, and save custom Soundtrack Pro layouts.
Arranging Tabs
The Soundtrack Pro interface is made up of tabs. You can tear off any tab to create a
separate floating window. This window can be resized or hidden. When you’re done
using the window, you can easily return the tab to its original location.
To tear off a tab:
m Select the tab, then drag it out of the area where it was nested.
To resize a window:
m Position the pointer at the edge of the window, then drag the edge to a new size.
To return a tab to its original location in the Soundtrack Pro interface:
m Drag the tab into the interface.
Using Preconfigured Interface Layouts
Soundtrack Pro comes with two preconfigured interface layouts.
Standard layout is the Soundtrack Pro default layout. It is shown throughout this book.
Separate Mixer and Video, the other interface layout, has three windows: a Standard
layout window, a floating Mixer window, and a floating Video window.
To view the Separate Mixer and Video layout:
m Choose Window > Layouts > Separate Mixer and Video (or press F2).
The Separate Mixer and Video layout puts the Video and Mixer tabs in separate,
floating windows.
To switch back to Standard layout:
m Choose Window > Layouts > Standard (or press F1).
