Working with tracks

Being able to select tracks easily is important when you're working in Layout Editing view. You may have several track layers in your movie, and they may be layered one on top of the other. Layout Editing view offers a context pop-up menu that lists all the available tracks at the clicking location. Simply Ctrl-click (Mac OS) or Right-click (Win) to display the context pop-up menu. You can select the track you want, or all the tracks. (This feature is the same as in Photoshop, in which you can select a layer in the document window by Ctrl-clicking when using the Move tool.)

When you select a track in the Track list in the TimeLine Window, the track is also selected (outlined) in the Movie Viewer window. Likewise, when you select a track in the Movie Viewer window, it appears outlined and the track is also highlighted in the Track list.
