Premiere Rush timeline

The Premiere Rush timeline consists of the playhead to view/scrub your timeline and multiple tracks where your media is arranged. 

Tracks

Tracks allow you to arrange your clips (videos, photos, graphics, and audio) with flexibility. 

While editing a video, you can use multiple tracks primarily for situations like when you want to add music alongside your video or add a title that plays on top of your video. 

The Premiere Rush timeline consists of one main V1 track. When you import video footage or still images, they are all by default arranged on this V1 track. If you import audio files, or add titles, they are placed in separate audio tracks on the timeline. 

In Premiere Rush, you can have a maximum of seven tracks on the timeline: four video tracks and three audio-only tracks. Video tracks support video (with or without audio), images, and graphics. Audio-only tracks support audio-only clips like music and voiceover recordings.

Each track has controls on the left (when the Control tracks icon is clicked) that allow you to lock a track (to prevent inadvertent edits to it), mute the audio of a track, and show or hide a track.

Playhead

The playhead is the blue vertical line that shows you where you are in your timeline when you are previewing your video. The playhead is an essential element to make sure that you are editing and viewing the correct part of your video.

When you click a clip in the timeline, the playhead jumps to that location so that you can preview that selected clip in the monitor as you make edits or watch your video.
