Scrolling Vertically through ONLY Audio tracks?
Question on whether this is possible – I have a WHOLE bunch of audio tracks on my timeline, but when I want to scroll down to see the bottom audio track, I still want to be able to see the video tracks (without making the tracks tiny).
Is there any way to ‘freeze’ the video tracks, so that I’m ONLY scrolling through the audio tracks? Kind of similar to how in excel you can ‘freeze panes’?
Thanks! 🙂

In Avid Media Composer, there isn’t a direct feature to freeze video tracks while scrolling through audio tracks only, similar to Excel’s “freeze panes.” However, you can use some workarounds to manage your workflow more efficiently:
1. **Track Height Adjustments**: Minimize the height of the audio tracks when you need to focus on them, and restore them when you need to work on the video tracks. You can do this quickly by Ctrl + Alt + K (decrease height) and Ctrl + Alt + L (increase height).
2. **Custom Workspaces**: Create custom workspaces tailored to different tasks. You can set up one workspace where audio tracks are minimized and video tracks are in focus, and another where the opposite is true. You can switch between these workspaces as needed.
3. **Track Grouping**: Use the Track Control Panel to group similar tracks together. This won’t freeze the video tracks but can make navigating between different types of tracks easier.
4. **Scrolling Shortcuts**: Utilize scrolling shortcuts to quickly navigate through your timeline. For example, Shift + Scroll can help you move through tracks more efficiently.
5. **Bins and Sequences**: Organize your project using bins and sequences to focus on specific parts of your edit without being overwhelmed by the entire timeline. This can help manage large numbers of tracks.
While these methods don’t offer a perfect solution, they can help you manage your workflow and keep important tracks in view while working with others.
