Track view

The Track view is always visible. It is the main window that you use to create, display, and work with

a project. When you open a project file, the Track view is displayed for the project. Closing the Track

view closes the project.

The Track view is divided into several sections: toolbars (at the top), the Navigator pane, the Video

Thumbnails pane, the Track pane, the Clips pane, and the Bus pane. You can change the size of

the panes by dragging the vertical or horizontal splitter bars that separate them.

You can automate most of the controls in the Track view by recording fader movements, drawing

envelopes, and creating snapshots.

In addition, all of the current track’s controls, plus a few that are only available in the Console view,

are contained in the Track Inspector, which is an expanded version of the current track’s controls

located on the far left side of the Track view. You can hide or show the Track Inspector by pressing I

on your keyboard.
