If you are working with many different layers in your Premiere Pro Timeline, you may need to add new video and audio tracks to accommodate your project. It is easy to add, delete and rename tracks.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Note that new video tracks will appear above any existing video tracks, and new audio tracks will appear below any existing audio tracks. Deleting a track removes all clips in the track, but it will not affect source clips listed in the Project panel.

  2. Step 2

    With the Timeline panel active, go to "Sequence," and then "Add Tracks." Type the number of tracks you want to add in the Add field for video, audio, and audio submix tracks. To specify the placement of added tracks, choose an option from the Placement menu for each type of track added.

  3. Step 3

    You can also specify the type of audio track you want to add, by choosing an option from the Track Type menu for audio and audio submix tracks. Click "OK."

  4. Step 4

    To delete tracks, click in the track’s header to select it. With the Timeline panel active, go to "Sequence," and then "Delete Tracks." In the dialog box that opens, check on the boxes for each type of track that you need to delete. Then for each checked item, specify which tracks you want to delete from the pop-up menu.

  5. Step 5

    To rename a track, right-click on the track's name and choose "Rename." Type a new name for the track and press "Enter."
