[. . . ] Mapping automatically activates the Track Label needed for the option selected. But even if Mapping is active you can activate or deactivate Tracks so that you can, for example, insert only video on the Timeline even though the source Track also contains audio. Simply click the Names of the Tracks mapped for Audio to deactivate them. If Mapping is disabled you can insert gaps of defined length on all activated Tracks. 1 Insert a few clips on the Timeline so that several Tracks are layered one above the other. One Track should be an Audio Track that runs throughout the entire Sequence without an Edit. There should be one video Track with three consecutive clips and two additional Audio Tracks with Edits that are not in the same position as the Edit on the Video track. Your Timeline should look something like this. You want to replace the second clip with a different one but without changing the other Tracks. Use the Goto previous edit/Goto next edit command to go to the Edit between the first and second clip. Source Track Mapping menu 2 5 - 18 Chapter Edit P INNACL E 3 4 5 6 Set a Mark-in.
