Editing Tracks

You can edit the tracks of an event in the EDL. Editing tracks is useful if you want to modify the tracks captured when you auto-capture or assemble the EDL.

For example, if the Track entry for an event is V1 and you want to capture only the video track (V), change the Track entry to V.

To edit the tracks for an event:

1. In the EDL work area, select the Track entries in the event that you want to edit from the EDL.

   The Track menu appears.

   (a) Track Edit Mode box

2. Enable the tracks that you want to edit.
3. Enable or disable the Affect Tape and Affect Selection buttons. See Editing Group.
4. From the Track Edit Mode box, select the mode that you want to use.

   Select: | To:
   --- | ---
   Change To | Replace tracks in the event with tracks you specified in the Track menu.
   Add | Add the tracks you specified in the Track menu to the tracks in the event.
   Filter | Keep only the tracks you specified in the Track menu. For example, if an event is “V12” and you specify “V1,” audio track 2 is filtered out, and the resulting event has “V1.”
   Flip | Reverse the status of tracks you specified in the Track menu. For example, if an event is “V23” and you specify “V34,” the resulting event has “V24.”

5. Click Return to confirm the change or Cancel to exit back to the EDL module without making any modifications.
