Using Track groups

Use Track groups to organize tracks when you are working with many tracks. For example, a Timeline Asset contains an Animation track and an Audio track that interacts with the same GameObject. To organize these tracks, move them into their own Track group.

To add a Track group, click the Add button and select Track Group from the Add menu. You can also right-click an empty area of the Track list and select Track Group from the context menu. A new Track group appears at the bottom of the Track list.

To rename a Track group, click its name and an I-beam cursor appears. Type the new name for the Track group and press Return.

To move tracks into a Track group, select one or more tracks and drag over the Track group. The Track group is highlighted. When dragging a selection of tracks, the last selected track type displays beside the cursor. To drop the tracks before a specific track in the Track group, drag until a white insert line indicates the destination.

A Track group can also have any number of Track sub-groups. To add a Track sub-group, either select a Track group and click the Add button in the Track list, or click the Plus icon beside the Track group name, and select Track Sub-Group. You can also use this menu to add tracks directly to a Track group or a Track sub-group.
