<h4><a name="Track_Navigation"> </a> Track Navigation </h4>
Track Navigation involves both getting to a specific track (audio or video) and getting to a certain time in the track. 
<p />
The program window contains many features for navigation and displays the timeline as it is structured in memory
<p />
<ul>
<li> The horizontal scroll bar allows you to scan from across time. 
</li>
<li> The vertical scroll bar allows you to scan across tracks. 
</li>
</ul>
<p />
In addition to the graphical tools, you'll probably more often use the keyboard to navigate. 
<p />
<ul>
<li> Use <strong>PAGE UP</strong> and <strong>PAGE DOWN</strong> to scroll up and down the tracks.
</li>
<li> Use the <strong>LEFT</strong> and <strong>RIGHT</strong> arrows to move across time in small increments. 
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<img src="../../../pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/tip.gif" border="0" alt="IDEA!" width="16" height="16" />You'll often need to scroll beyond the end of the timeline but scrollbars won't let you do it. Instead use the RIGHT arrow to scroll past the end of timeline.
<p />
<ul>
<li> Use the <strong>HOME</strong> and <strong>END</strong> keys to instantly go to the beginning or end of the timeline.
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<ul>
<li> In <img src="../../../pub/Cinelerra/CinelerraImages/button_bar.png" alt="button_bar.png" /> I-beam mode, hold down <strong>shift</strong> while pressing <strong>HOME</strong> or <strong>END</strong> to select the region of the timeline between the <a class="twikiLink" href="../../view/Cinelerra/InsertionPoint">InsertionPoint</a> and the key pressed.

Concatenate tracks takes every <a class="twikiLink" href="../../view/Cinelerra/PatchBay">playable</a> track and concatenates it to the end of the first <a class="twikiLink" href="../../view/Cinelerra/PatchBay">armed</a> tracks.
<ul>
<li> If there are two <strong>armed</strong> tracks followed by two <strong>playable</strong> tracks, the concatenate operation puts the two playable tracks after the two <a class="twikiLink" href="../../view/Cinelerra/PatchBay">armed</a> tracks. 
</li>
<li> If there are three playable tracks instead, two tracks are put after the <a class="twikiLink" href="../../view/Cinelerra/PatchBay">armed</a> tracks and a third track is put on the end of the first armed track.
</li>
<li> The destination track wraps around until all the playable tracks are concatenated.

Finally, you'll want to create new tracks. The Audio and Video menus each contain an option to add a track of their specific type.

In the case of video, the new track is put on the top of the timeline. This way, video has a natural compositing order. New video tracks are overlayed on top of old tracks.

There is no special designation for tracks other than the type of media they contain. When you create a new project, it contains a certain mumber of default tracks. You can still add or delete tracks from a number of menus. The Tracks menu contains a number of options for dealing with multiple tracks simultaneously. Each track itself has a popup menu which affects one track.
<p />
Bring up the popup menu by moving over a track and right clicking. The popup menu affects the track whether it's armed or not.
<p />
Move up and move down moves the one track up or down in the stack. Delete track deletes the track.
<p />
Operations in the Tracks menu affect only tracks which are armed.
<p />
Move tracks up and Move tracks down shift all the armed tracks up or down the stack.
<p />
Delete tracks deletes the armed tracks.
<p />
Delete last track deletes the last track, whether it's armed or not. Holding down the d key quickly deletes all the tracks.

Concatenate tracks is more complicated. It takes every playable track and concatenates it to the end of the first armed tracks.
