Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 498)

Deleting Tracks
You can delete tracks from a sequence at any time. You can delete tracks one at a time,
or you can delete multiple video and audio tracks at once. If you delete tracks that contain
linked clip items, only the items on the deleted track are deleted; the linked items remain.
For example, if you delete a video track, video clip items on that track are deleted, but
the linked audio clip items remain in their tracks.
Note: If you delete the wrong track, you can use the Undo command to restore it.
To quickly delete a single track in a sequence
µ
Control-click anywhere in the track header (the area to the left of each track), then choose
Delete Track from the shortcut menu.
You can also delete several empty tracks from a sequence in the Timeline.
To delete multiple empty tracks from a sequence
1 Choose Sequence > Delete Tracks.
2 Select your options for deleting tracks, then click OK.
Options appear only after
you select the type of
track you want to delete.
• Track type: Select the appropriate checkbox to delete audio and/or video tracks.
• Tracks to delete: Specify the type of track you want to delete.
• All Empty Tracks: Select this option to delete all tracks in your sequence in the Timeline
that don’t contain clip items.
• All Empty Tracks at End of Sequence: Select this option to delete all empty video tracks
above and all empty audio tracks below the outermost tracks that contain clip items.
After tracks are deleted, all remaining tracks in the sequence are renumbered.
