Track Indicators and Tools

 
 
 

On the left side of the timeline, in the Patch Panel area, you can find indicators and other tools for working with tracks and versions.

In the example above, the upper track (version 1 track 2) is highlighted, and therefore selected. The track indicators and tools for this track are (from left to right):

Grab area
Grab the handle area of the track to move and reorder a track or group of tracks. As you are dragging, a red message gives you an indication as to the operation being performed.
Track Collapse/Expand arrow
Click to collapse or expand all tracks within a version. You can collapse tracks to remove clutter from your timeline.
Patch Identifier (Source track)
Indicates which source track is patched to the track (in green).
Track Identifier (Destination or Sequence track)
Displays the version and track number (in dark grey).
Track Visibility icon
Displays or hides the track.
Track Lock icon
Enable track lock to prevent editing operations from being performed on the track. A locked track displays grey diagonal lines.
Sync Lock icon
Enable to maintain sequence sync on a track or tracks.
Video Track indicator
