Video tracks
When you add videos or photos to your project, they are added to the video track of the Timeline. From there, you can rearrange the clips and move them to other tracks.
Video track
The video track contains your videos with their built-in audio, photos and the transitions between them. To arrange clips on the video track, simply drag them with your mouse.

You can link audio and titles to video and image clips so that they will stay in sync as you edit the project.
-
You can rotate, adjust, and use other tools on video and image clips on this track.
-
You can apply filters to video and image clips on this track.

You can also add titles to the video track, if you want to show them against a solid black background.
Overlay track
The overlay track is used to show a photo or video on top of the main video track. You can use overlays to show split screen footage or create a chroma key effect.
To create an overlay, select a clip on the video track and drag it up, onto the overlay track. By default, new overlays are created in picture and picture mode. To change the overlay mode, double-click the overlay clip and choose a mode in the control panel on top of the player.
Overlay modes: picture in picture, side by side, cover

You can add filters and any special effects to the overlay track.
-
You cannot use transitions on the overlay track.

Every overlay clip is linked to the corresponding clip on the video track.
Linked clips
Clips on the titles, linked audio, and overlay tracks are all linked to a clip on the video track. You will see a line joining the beginning of the linked track to a corresponding position on the video track. Whenever you move a clip on the video track, any clips linked to it will also move with it. This allows you to keep clips synchronized as you edit the video.
