# Sequence overview

> A sequence connects multiple tracks together, letting you edit multiple sources as if they were a single file.

export const Wistia = ({id, title = "Video", ratio = "16 / 9"}) => <Frame>

Editing multitrack footage usually means syncing tracks by hand and repeating the same cut on each one. A sequence collapses that into a single edit from your composition's script, and every track stays aligned automatically.

When you create a sequence, it appears in your composition's script and timeline as a single item. Edit that item from your script, and all tracks inside the sequence are edited together.

Descript creates sequences automatically when you record in [Rooms](/record/rooms-overview) or use [the Editor recorder](/record/editor-recorder). If you're using [the Screen Recorder](/record/screen-recorder), behavior depends on your settings.

## When to use a sequence

Use a sequence when you have:

* **Multiple camera angles** of the same recording that you want to switch between
* **Multiple microphones** in a single conversation
* **Screen recordings with separate inputs** (system audio, mic, camera, screen)
* **Audio and video from different sources** that need to stay synced

## Create a sequence

You can create sequences in several ways:

* **From project files:** Multi-select files in the **Project** panel and click **Create sequence** in the preview window.
* **From an empty composition:** Click the **Multicam & multitrack** button in a new, empty composition to start building your sequence.
* **Empty sequence:** Create an empty sequence from the **+** menu in the **Project** panel and add files in the Sequence Editor.

For full details on all three methods, see [Create a sequence](/script-editing/create-a-sequence).

## Edit a sequence

### Edit from your composition's script

To keep all tracks aligned, edit the sequence directly from your composition's script or timeline. Any edits—cutting, deleting, rearranging—apply to all tracks at once. [Learn how to edit your content like a document](/getting-started/edit-like-a-doc).

### Edit individual tracks in the Sequence Editor

To adjust a single track inside a sequence, open the **Sequence Editor**. Use this when you need to:

* Change volume or apply effects to one track only
* Fix timing misalignment between tracks
* Remove background noise or crosstalk from a specific speaker
* Add or remove tracks from an existing sequence

For full details about editing individual tracks in a sequence, see our [Sequence Editor](/script-editing/sequence-editor) article.
