Multiple tracks are also useful when you need to place graphics or titles above your video footage, or to compose multiple video clips to create a ghostly effect. For example, you can easily create a cut-in or cut-away by placing a new clip containing B-roll footage on a track above the one containing an A-roll. You can keep all your clips on a single video track, but it might not always be practical.
