Editing techinique: When to use multiple tracks?
Excuse the vagueness of the question; I am a beginner.
I currently put all my video onto one track. It dawned on me that I do not have to do this, but I can not think of any good reason not to. When do you use multiple video tracks? |

The best answer I can give: When it is necessary to do so.
For example, if you want to add a title, you will need another video track. If you want to create a picture-in-picture effect, you will need another video track. These are just two of many reasons. |

Sometimes it can be handy if you have lengthy segments of two
or more video's / scenes where you cut a lot between those. Then you don't have to rearrange everything on one track all the time.
