System information
When you have a group of tracks soloed, hold Ctrl while clicking the Solo button on an unsoloed track
to remove all other tracks from the solo group. Hold Ctrl while clicking the Solo button on a soloed
track reset all Solo buttons.
When you have multiple levels of parent and child tracks, clicking the Solo button on a parent track solos
the parent track and its compositing children. Other nonsoloed tracks at the same compositing level are
bypassed.
In the sample track list, soloing track 1 will solo tracks 1 through 6.
Soloing track 4 will solo tracks 4 through 6. Tracks 2 and 3 are bypassed, and tracks 1 and 7 play normally.
For more information, see "Compositing and Masks" on page 385.
Adjust track opacity and trim levels
The Level slider in the track header affects the composite level of a track. The slider can function as a trim
control that adjusts the overall track opacity, or it can adjust track opacity automation settings.
The trim level is added to the track automation settings so your envelope is preserved, but with a boost or
cut applied. For example, setting the trim control to 90% has the same effect as decreasing every envelope
point by 10%.
Click the Parent Composite Mode or Compositing Mode button and choose a mode from the menu to
determine how the transparency in a video track is generated. Since lower tracks show through higher
tracks, it is the compositing mode of the higher track that determines how much of the lower track shows
though. The compositing mode of the lowest video track adjusts its transparency against the background.
For more information, see "Video Track Automation" on page 260 and "Compositing and Masks" on page
385.
