About Tracks in the Cut Page Timeline

Tracks in the Cut page timeline combine a clip’s audio and video into a single track for convenience, as this makes it easy to keep audio and video organized and in sync when superimposing many clips together. This means that tracks have both video and audio enable controls in the track header controls, so that you can selectively disable video and mute audio when necessary.

Each track also has a lock control, which lets you prevent clips on that track from being altered in any way.

Enlarging Tracks

Track size can be enlarged and minimized by clicking on the Track Sizing icon on the left side of the track header. An expanded video track shows a full size video and audio track, if attached. This makes it easier to see just the track you want to focus on. Only one track can be expanded at a time.
