Selecting Tracks
You can select tracks on the source side or the record side of the Track Selector panel to control
your options for editing. For example, you might select the source and record tracks for V1, A1,
and A2 to edit picture and audio from the source clip into the sequence. To edit the picture
without sound, select only V1 source and record tracks. To edit the sound without the picture,
select only A1 and A2 source and record tracks.
The following guidelines apply to track selection when you edit:
• You can edit selected tracks on the source side directly into the sequence, assuming you have
selected parallel tracks on the record side.
• You cannot edit deselected tracks on the source side into the sequence, regardless of record
track selections.
• You cannot edit deselected tracks on the record side into the sequence, regardless of source
track selections.
The Tracks tab of the Command Palette contains buttons for all available Timeline tracks. You
can map these buttons to any mappable button location or to the keyboard, or you can use them
directly in the Command Palette. For more information, see “Mapping User-Selectable Buttons”
on page 112 and “Activating Commands from the Command Palette” on page 114.
