To add tracks
New video tracks appear above existing video tracks, and new audio tracks appear below existing audio tracks.
Deleting a track removes all clips in the track but does not affect source clips listed in the Project panel.
Note: You can add any number of tracks, limited only by your system's resources.

tracks.

Note: An audio track can accept only audio clips that use the matching channel type—mono, stereo, or 5.1. If you're not
sure what kind of audio your clips use, select the clip in the Project panel and read its information in the preview area.
You can add a track as you add a clip to the sequence. See "To add a track while adding a clip" on page 119.

Trimming clips in the Source Monitor
Trimming clips
The first step in editing a sequence is specifying which portion of a clip you want to use. Setting a clip's In and Out
points is a process called trimming. You define the first frame you want to include in a sequence by marking that
frame as the clip's In point. Then you define the last frame you want to include by marking it as the Out point.
You can set In and Out points for a clip in the Source Monitor. After a clip is in a sequence, you can trim a clip's In
or Out point by dragging its edge. Several specialized tools and techniques allow you to trim multiple edges at once,
reducing the number of steps involved and maintaining the integrity of the sequence.
