The following explains the descriptions of the track header and the types of tracks.
You can make settings for each track simply on the track header, for example, to lock the track for preventing placed clips from moving or to set the track to exclusively play back audio.
You can set the following items in the track header.
(1) |
Track patch |
When a clip is displayed on the Player or a clip is selected in the bin, the channel held by that clip (source channel) is displayed on the track patch. When a clip in the source browser is selected, the source channel is displayed on the track patch according to the channel map in the project settings. Also, the track patch position displays which track the source channel is mapped to when a clip is placed on the timeline by a shortcut key or button. The source channel mapping to each track can be changed. |
