Exchanging Media in the Timeline

You duplicated the Detonator watch and all of its behaviors and filters and then changed the name of the duplicate clip in the Timeline. Now it's time to replace the media with the GMT still by using the Exchange option on the drop menu. To get to the Exchange option on the drop menu, you need to drag the new media file to the object on the object's track in the Timeline.

1.	Press Cmd-1 to open the File Browser tab in the Utility window.
2.	Drag the GMT.00_trans.psd file from the File Browser to the beginning of the GMT object on the GMT track in the Timeline, and hold down the mouse until the drop menu appears. Then choose Exchange from the drop menu. The GMT watch is now the media on the GMT track in the Timeline.
3.	Play the project to see it in the Canvas.

Changing the Track Position in the Timeline

The GMT watch appears below the Time Bomb watch instead of above it. Let's reposition the GMT and Time Bomb tracks so the GMT track is above the time_bomb track in the Timeline.

You can reposition a track by dragging the objects on the Layer list, just as you reposition objects on the Layers tab in the Project pane.

1.	In the Timeline Layer list, drag the GMT object upward until the position indicator appears above the time_bomb object. Release the mouse. The GMT clip now appears above the time_bomb clip in the Timeline. The project is nearly perfect. The GMT watch appears and moves as if you had planned it that way all along. The only thing distracting to me is the color of the GMT watch; it has the exact same color tint as the Detonator watch. Let's select the Colorize filter for the GMT clip in the Timeline and modify the color in the Dashboard.
2.	Click the GMT disclosure triangle to view all of the filters and behaviors applied to the object.
3.	Select the purple Colorize filter region in the Timeline below the GMT track.
4.	Press D to open the Dashboard, if it's not already open, and select a new color for the third watch. I used the color picker to select an aqua green color from the surf_2_SD_jpg clip in the Canvas. Choose any color you wish to accent the GMT watch.
5.	Press Cmd-7 to close the Timing pane; then watch the finished project in the Canvas.
6.	Press Cmd-S to save the finished project.
7.	Choose File > Close to close the finished project.

Now you have all of the skills you need to import, edit, and modify a project in the Timeline.
