Render to New Track

From the Tools menu, choose Render to New Track to mix multiple tracks to a single track. This function is similar to track bouncing in the analog world.

TIP When your project contains many tracks and effects, mixing down can help conserve processing power.

When you render multiple tracks, any envelope or track effects that you have applied will be rendered into the new track. The original source files remain unaffected, and the new track(s) will be saved to a new file.

1. Click the Solo button for the tracks that you want to mix down. If no tracks are soloed, the rendered track will match the Master Bus output. Create a time selection if you want to mix down a portion of your project.

   Video tracks will be rendered into a single video track, and audio tracks will be rendered to a single stereo audio track.

2. From the Tools menu, choose Render to New Track. The Render to New Track dialog is displayed.

3. Use the controls in the Render to New Track dialog to choose the location and format you want to use to save your rendered track.

4. Click the Render button. A dialog is displayed to show rendering progress.

5. When the mixing is complete, the new track appears in the track list.

6. After the new track appears, you can delete the original tracks.
