Video Track

 Video, Still Images, Text, Backdrops

inside of them which should give you an idea of what
the video looks like – very much like frames in a
filmstrip.

bottom.
Audio Track

graphical representations of the audio showing the
larger parts having the louder audio peaks.
 By using multiple audio tracks, you can have more
than one sound playing at once. For instance, you can
have someone speaking over background music. The
events must be on different tracks but playing at the
same time on the timeline.
