deleting a track

PostWed Mar 31, 2021 5:56 pm

How do I delete a track? I reviewed the editing tutorial, but it didn't show how to delete a track. I tried to right click, but the "Delete Track" option is greyed out and not available.

If the Timeline is only a single track, click on the Timeline thumbnail in the Media Pool to highlight it and press delete on your keyboard. You will be asked if you want to delete it or not.

For those that may not know, with multiple tracks you would use Delete Track to remove a single track as in the pic below.
To remove all tracks you would delete the Timeline.

I see what the problem was. You cannot delete a track if it is the only track. I added another track and the "Delete Track" option was made available. Thanks.
