@ -18,9 +28,3 @@ as it needs as long as they do not overlap. If a strip needs to overlap another,
it needs to be placed on a channel above or below the other strip.
When strips are stacked, they stack from bottom to top where the lowest channel
forms the background and the highest the foreground.

I believe this is still an important factoid and shouldn't be removed.

Thank you for reviewing. As a newcomer to Blender, I was sadly more confused than informed after reading this note.

The first channel 0 is unusable as a place to put strips.

There is no such channel. (Old Blender versions appear to have had it, but even in version 2.93, channels start at number 1)

This is because it is used by the :doc:Sequencer Display </editors/video_sequencer/preview/introduction>

The link is named after the "Sequencer" view type, but points to the "Preview" view type - which is it?

to show a composite of all strips above channel 0.

I've done a bunch of experimenting with the VSE already, but never saw the empty area below Channel 1 display anything.

Is this area meant to show the union of all the strips, just like the "Summary" row in the Dope Sheet editor shows the union of all the keyframes? (In which case, how do you make it display something?)

Or is it an implementation detail for the Preview pane to render the composited video? (In which case, what benefit do users get from knowing this?)
