To align the timing of tracks and samples
Select multiple tracks or samples and click one of the following buttons in either the Multiple Track Inspector or
Multiple Sample Inspector:
Align To Tracks'/Samples' Most Left Start Time
leftmost item. If you don't select the Adjust Track/Sample Duration option before clicking this button, GoLive aligns
the items without changing their durations.
Align To Tracks'/Samples' Most Right End Time
rightmost item. If you don't select the Adjust Track/Sample Duration option before clicking this button, GoLive
aligns the items without changing their durations.
Adjust Track/Sample Duration
For items you align to leftmost start time, GoLive changes the durations instead of changing the end times. For items
you align to rightmost end time, GoLive changes the durations instead of changing the start times.
Leap To Base Track's Start Time
base track from the Base Track menu in the Multiple Track Inspector. Note that there must be enough time before
the base track to fit the other selected tracks. For example, if the base track begins at a movie's two-second mark, only
tracks with durations of two seconds or less can fit before the base track.
Leap To Base Track's End Time
track from the Base Track menu in the Multiple Track Inspector.
To set the basic track and sample properties
Add or select a track or sample, and then set the appropriate properties in the Basic tab of the track or sample
Inspector.
Each track and sample has a corresponding Inspector, which lets you set properties, select filter effects, create sprite
actions, and control layout parameters.
Track and sample properties
Most of these basic properties are available for video tracks and other visible tracks such as sprites, 3D, text, and SWF
files.
Set the following properties for tracks and samples in the Basic tab of the track or sample's Inspector:
Title Specifies a name for the track.
Start Time and Duration
Proportionally changes the duration of tracks containing samples (sprites, text, chapter, HREF,
Scale Sample Time
and filters) when you change the duration in the track Inspector (or if you Shift-drag the track bar's end). Deselect
this option to lengthen only the last sample to the end of the track bar. This option also works for folder tracks, which
contain other tracks.
Note: If you use this option with a sprite track containing samples (for example, frame actions) that occur at specific
times in a movie, the samples move. If you don't want the timing of the samples to change, avoid this option.
Position Specifies the selected track's horizontal and vertical position. For example, you can place two tracks next
to each other by using different positions for each track.
Specifies the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the selected track. Whenever you adjust dimensions,
