2. Type a new timecode.
Track Display for New Sequences
When you create a new sequence with the New Sequence command and no material is loaded in
the Source monitor, the Timeline displays a default set of tracks—the master timecode track
(TC1), at least one video track (V1), and at least two audio tracks (A1 and A2). For film projects,
the output timecode format tracks and EC (edgecode) track also display.
You can change the initial set of tracks that display in the Timeline in the Edit tab of the Timeline
Settings dialog box. For more information, see “Timeline Settings: Edit Tab” on page 1437.
You can add up to 24 audio or video tracks to a sequence. For more information, see “Adding and
Deleting Tracks” on page 716. You can also add one Data (D1) track for ancillary data (closed
captioning). For more information, see “Preserving HD Closed Captioning and Ancillary Data”
on page 1091.
The following illustration shows the default Timeline for a new sequence, with no material
loaded in the Source monitor.
User Preferences for Creating Tracks
There are two options in the Edit tab of the Composer Settings dialog box that help automate the
way you create and enable tracks. You can adjust these settings in advance, based on personal
preference.
For information on opening and changing settings, see “Viewing and Modifying Settings” on
page 1339.
