Channels
Sequence strips in the VSE occupy numbered horizontal slots called
channels
. Channels are numbered from
zero, with zero at the bottom and the channel numbers increasing upward. Although it appears empty, the 0
channel implicitly contains the final composited sequence, and so you cannot place sequences to be edited in
this channel. The VSE Image Preview display mode enables you to select which channel to display, as shown
in
Figure 11-12
. Note that when no compositing is involved, the highest-numbered (topmost) channel is given
precedence. For this reason, on frames where both sequence strips are present in the figure, the strip in channel
2 is displayed when the Chan value is set to 0 in the Image Preview header.
