USING ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS4
Editing sequences and clips
Last updated 11/6/2011
If you don’t want to set In and Out points, you can drag the clip directly from a bin or the preview thumbnail in the
Project panel.

To make clip edges align when you drag them, make sure that the Snap button
is active in a Timeline panel.

Do one of the following:
•
To drag the video and audio portions of a clip to specific tracks, drag the clip from the Source Monitor or Project
panel into a Timeline. When the video portion of the clip lies above the desired video track, press and hold Shift.
Continue holding shift, and drag downward past the bar separating video and audio tracks. When the audio portion
of the clip lies above the desired audio track, release the mouse and release Shift.
•
To drag the video portion of a clip to the Video 1 track and the audio to any audio track, drag the clip from the
Source Monitor or Project panel past the line that separates the video tracks from the audio tracks. Drop the clip
above the audio track where you want the audio portion to land. The video portion of the clip will remain in the
Video 1 track, and the audio portion lands in the desired audio track.
•
To perform an overlay edit, drag the clip from the Source Monitor or Project panel to an appropriate track in a
Timeline panel at the point you want the clip to start. The destination area is highlighted, and the pointer appears
with the Overlay icon
.
•
To perform an insert edit, Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac OS) the clip from the Source Monitor or
Project panel to an appropriate track in a Timeline panel at the point you want the clip to start. The destination area
is highlighted, and the pointer appears with the Insert icon
. Arrows appear at the insertion point in all tracks.
•
To perform an insert edit and shift only target tracks, Ctrl+Alt-drag (Windows) or Command+Option-drag (Mac
OS) the clip from the Source Monitor or Project panel to an appropriate track in a Timeline panel at the point you
want the clip to start. The destination area is highlighted, and the pointer appears with the Insert icon
. Arrows
appear at the insertion point only in the tracks to which the clip is added.
•
(Roman keyboards only) To zoom into or out of a clip as you drop it into a Timeline panel, drag and press the equal
sign key (=) to increase the zoom factor or press the minus sign key (–) to decrease it. Do not use the keys on the
number pad.
The clip will land in a Timeline panel, and a Timeline panel will become active, making it easy to playback the clip just
added to the sequence.
Note: You can also drag, or Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac OS), a clip into the Program Monitor to
overlay or insert a clip. Make sure the track you want is targeted in a Timeline panel and the current-time indicator is at
the location where you want to add the clip in the sequence. To prevent an insert edit from shifting clips in any track, turn
off Sync Lock for that track, or alternatively, lock the track.

Drag video only or audio only to a sequence
You can add the video track, the audio tracks, or both types of tracks of a clip to a sequence. When you drag a clip from
the Project panel or from the main viewing area of the Source Monitor, you automatically add both types of tracks. If
you want to add only one type of track, add it from the Source Monitor.
