Split or cut one or more clips with the Razor tool
You can use the Razor tool to cut a clip into two clips, or to cut across clips in several tracks at once. Splitting a clip
creates a new and separate instance of the original clip, and any linked clips. The resulting clips are full versions of the
original clip, but with different In and Out points.
❖
Do any of the following:
•
To split a single clip or linked clip, select the Razor tool
, and click the point in the sequence where you want to
split the clip.
•
To split only the audio or video portion of linked clips, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) with the
Razor tool.
•
To split clips on targeted tracks, click the headers of the desired tracks to target them. Position the current-time
indicator where you want to split the clip or clips, and choose Sequence > Razor At Current-Time Indicator.
•
To split clips on all except locked tracks, lock any track containing a clip that you don’t want to split. Shift-click
with the Razor tool to split all tracks at the same point in a Timeline panel.
If you want to change effect settings over time, you don’t need to split the clip; you can apply keyframes to a single clip
instead.
Remove clips from a sequence
❖
To remove entire clips, select one or more clips in the sequence and press Delete.
Lift and paste frames
You can remove or lift frames from a specified area of one or more tracks in a sequence, leaving a gap in their place.
You specify the area with sequence In and Out points. If only a part of a clip appears between the sequence In and Out
points, that part will be lifted from the sequence while the rest of the clip will remain. You can then paste the lifted
frames anywhere in a sequence.
1
Use the controls in the Program Monitor to specify sequence In and Out points.
2
In the Timeline, click the headers of the tracks from which you want to lift frames to target them.
3
In the Program Monitor, click the Lift button
.
The frames that are lifted are placed on the system clipboard.
4
Click the header of the track into which you want to paste the lifted frames to target it.
5
Move the current-time indicator to the location where you want to paste the lifted frames.
6
Select Edit > Paste.

Extract and paste frames
You can extract frames from a specified area of one or more tracks in a sequence, leaving no gap in their place. You
specify the area with a sequence In Point and Out point. If only part of a clip appears between the sequence In point
and Out point, Premiere Pro will extract only that part of the clip from the sequence, letting the rest of the clip remain.
After extracting, you can paste the extracted frames anywhere in a sequence.
