Moving clips in a sequence
In general, moving a clip is as simple as dragging it to any area in a compatible track. To
make it easier to align clips with one another or with particular points in time, you can
activate the snap feature. When you move a clip with snap on, it automatically aligns with,
or snaps, to the edge of another clip, to a marker, to the start and end of the time ruler, or
to the current-time indicator. Snapping also helps to ensure you don’t inadvertently
perform an insert or overlay edit when dragging. As you drag clips, a vertical line with
arrows appears and indicates when clips are aligned.
To move a clip to a point earlier or later in the sequence:
Drag the clip to the left or right, and position the clip by watching the translucent
rectangle that represents the clip’s duration. (Alt-drag to move a clip without moving its
linked video or audio. This shifts the video and audio out of sync, however.)
Note: Adobe Premiere 6.5 or earlier don’t allow you to drag a clip to an occupied part of a
track. Adobe Premiere Pro allows you to drag a clip over another clip to perform insert and
overlay edits (see “Editing clips in the Timeline window” on page 138).
To move a clip to a different track:
Drag the clip up or down into the track you want.
Note: When you first drag a clip containing both video and audio (linked clip) to a
sequence, the video and audio tend to occupy corresponding tracks. For example, if you
drag a clip on track Video 3, the clip’s audio appears in Audio 3. However, if you try to drag
the video to Video 3 but Audio 3 uses a different channel type, the audio shifts to the next
compatible track, or if no matching track exists, a new one is created.
To enable and disable the snap feature:
At the upper left of the Timeline window under the Sequence tab, click the Toggle Snap
button to select it. Click it again to deselect it.
To snap a clip’s edge or marker to the edge of another clip, marker, or the
currenttime
indicator:

Make sure that the Toggle Snap button is selected in the Timeline window.

Drag the edge of a clip close to the edge of another clip or a marker or the current-time
indicator. A vertical line appears when alignment occurs.
You can toggle the snap feature using a keyboard shortcut (S) even during an editing
operation, such as moving or trimming a clip.

Trimming clips in the Timeline window
In addition to simply rearranging clips in the Timeline window, you can make adjustments
to their In and Out points, a process called
trimming
. You can trim a clip’s In or Out point
by
simply dragging its edge. In addition, several specialized tools and techniques allow you
to trim multiple edges at once, reducing the number of steps involved and maintaining
