Using color tracks

A color track adds a layer of color to the movie window. You add a color track to your movie by dragging a Color Track icon from the QuickTime set  of the Objects palette into the track list area of the Timeline Editor. (See Adding tracks to movies.)

A new color track is opaque, by default, and has the same dimensions as the current dimensions of the movie window. To change the fill color of the color track, use the Color field in the Basic tab of the Color Track Inspector. To change how the color track overlays other tracks, use the Mode menu in the Basic tab of the Color Track Inspector. For information on setting the color track properties in the Color Track Inspector, see Setting the basic track and sample properties.
