Selecting Tracks on the Timeline
Select a track to display its parameters in the Controls window.
Click to select a track or use the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard to move from
track to track. The selected track highlights in light blue. You can also select a track by
clicking that track’s visible media in the Composite window. The corresponding track on the
timeline is highlighted.
See “Track Control Buttons” on page 82 for a description of the track controls.
Saving Selected Tracks
You can save a single track or a group of tracks as a separate settings file. This is useful
when you want to use these tracks in a future project. For instance, if you want to separate a
foreground animation from the background tracks, you can select and save only the
foreground tracks in a separate file.
To save selected tracks:
1. Select the track(s) you want to save as a settings file.
2. From the File menu, select Save Selected Tracks.
3. In the dialog box, enter a name and click Save.
Adjusting Parameters on Multiple Tracks
You can apply parameter changes to multiple tracks. Here are some general rules:
• All tracks must be on the same level. For example, the shape tracks must be at the top
level of the timeline or belong to the same container.
• You cannot select multiple face or media tracks that are not nested within the same
shape track.
• If you are making adjustments to multiple spline objects, they must be nested in the
same path.
