Understanding Source and Destination Controls
The number of available Source controls corresponds to the number of clip items in the
source clip currently open in the Viewer. For example, a typical clip has one video clip
item and two audio clip items. In this case, one video and two audio Source controls
appear in the Timeline. If, instead, you open a clip in the Viewer that has one video item
and four audio items, one video and four audio Source controls appear in the Timeline.
Every track in your sequence has a Destination control. By assigning source clip items
to destination tracks using these controls, you determine which items from your source
clip go into which tracks when edits are performed.
Important:
If you copy and paste clips, the paste destination is determined by Auto
Select controls, not Source and Destination controls. For more information, see “
Using
Auto Select to Specify Tracks for Selections
” on page 185.
A maximum of one video and
twenty-four audio Source controls
appear in the Timeline, depending
on the number of clip items
currently open in the Viewer.
