Hiding tracks
You can mark a track as shy, which means it can be hidden in the Timeline. Marking a track as
shy may not immediately conceal it in the Timeline, because you must choose the Hide Shy
Tracks command to conceal or reveal all shy tracks simultaneously. The shy setting affects only
Timeline viewing; it does not affect previewing or exporting. Shy tracks are included in the
video program even when they are not visible in the Timeline.
To conceal or reveal tracks in the Timeline:
1 Do one of the following:
To mark a track as shy, press Control (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) as you click the eye
•
icon ( )(for video) or speaker icon ( )(for audio) at the left edge of a track. The icon appears
as an outlined eye ( ) (for video) or outlined speaker ( ) (for audio).
To mark a track as not shy, Control/Command-click an outlined eye icon ( ) (for video)
•

at the left edge of any track except Video 1.
