Editing Video
To split multiple tracks at the same point in the Timeline:
Select the multi-razor tool ( ) and click a clip in the Timeline where you want to split
it. Premiere splits all unlocked clips on any unlocked track at that time point into two
independent instances in the program.
Cutting and pasting clips and clip settings
You can rearrange existing clips in the Timeline by cutting and pasting. If you simply paste a
clip, Premiere inserts it at the edit point and extends the duration of the video program by the
duration of the clip you pasted. If you want another result, Premiere provides options that let
you control exactly what happens to the clips at the edit point when you paste. This kind of
control is most useful when you are pasting a clip of one duration into a selected space of
a different duration.
If you have applied settings to a clip and want to use the same settings in another clip, you can
easily copy the settings. For example, you might want to apply identical color correction to
a series of clips captured in the same session.
Note: Cutting and pasting work on individual clips only. You cannot cut and paste a clip with its
linked audio or video. If you want to move a clip with its linked audio or video, drag it instead.
To make a clip fit into a selected space when you paste it:
1 Select a clip and choose Edit > Cut or Edit > Copy.
2
Select an empty segment in the Timeline.
3
Choose Edit > Paste to Fit. Premiere adjusts the duration to fit by keeping the source In point
and setting a new source Out point.
To control how a clip pastes into a selected space:
1 Select a clip and choose Edit > Cut or Edit > Copy.
2 Select an empty segment in the Timeline.
3
Choose Edit > Paste Custom, and make sure Content is selected.
