All Files imported inside the timeline are collected inside the media bin panel on the left and are contained inside several rows, also called tracks. Each file is represented as a rectangular block called clip with the file or sample name on it. Then, if the clip is related to any video or image file, it will show small thumbnails on it very useful to recognize each clip. If you have audio clips, it sound waveform is shown.

Consider that both the file name and its thumbnail will be hidden when they meet the playhead. To fully playback your project Instead, use the player right below the preview.

Also, each track has two great options to manage your timeline content. The eye icon is used to enable or disable the track. A disabled track hides all its content inside. The lock icon below locks the track which means that you will no longer be able to edit its content until you unlock it. To insert new tracks or delete one, just right click on a vacant space.
