Channels

Channels are horizontal tracks of along the timeline that contain content called Strips. A strip can be an image, animation, or any number of effects. Each channel is numbered consecutively on the Y axis, starting from 1 and allows up to 128 total channels. The X axis of each channel represents time. Each channel can contain as many strips as it needs along the time axis as long as they do not overlap. If a strip needs to overlap another, it needs to be placed on a channel above or below the other strip.
