Inserting or removing tracks

all types of tracks can be added to and removed from the timeline likewise.

Inserting tracks

Right-click a track head or the empty timeline and select Insert track and the required type of track. Following this the track is displayed and marked.
If you want to add several tracks in one go, right-click a track head and select Insert tracks... Specify the number and type of required tracks and click OK. If you want the tracks to be grouped, check Group tracks.
Tracks can be created automatically by simply dragging the media files into the empty, blue space in the timeline.
In addition to all this, it is also possible to create a new track by dragging & dropping a screen or ticker field into the empty space below the timeline tracks. The track created thus is then linked up with the screen or ticker field and dragged and dropped into the timeline.

Removing tracks

Right-click a track head or the empty timeline and select Remove track in order to remove one track and all objects in it along with the track. But you can also mark several tracks and remove them in one go.
Using the Delete key you can delete all highlighted elements, i.e. also tracks, objects, nodes, etc. Before this command is executed you will be queried if you really want to delete the listed elements. Tip: Hit Ctrl + D to clear all highlights. Following this highlight all the elements that you want to delete.
If you want to remove all empty tracks, click Timeline - Remove empty tracks in the main menu, followed by selecting In current timeline or In all timelines.
When a group track with hidden tracks is deleted via Remove track group, the hidden tracks of this group track are also deleted.

By removing a track all objects on the track are deleted as well. The media files, however, remain. But you will lose the objects and the various editing steps.
