Note:
You can also drag or Ctrl-drag a clip into the Program Monitor to overlay or insert a clip. Make sure the track you
want is targeted in the Timeline panel and the current-time indicator is at the location you want to add the clip in the
sequence. To prevent an insert edit from shifting clips in another track, lock the track.

To add a track while adding a clip
❖
Drag a clip from the Project panel or Source Monitor into the blank space above the topmost video track (for a
video or linked clip) or below the lowest audio track (for an audio or linked clip). Adobe Premiere Pro adds an audio
track, a video track, or both, depending on the content of the source clip.
Note:
If the sequence doesn’t have an unlocked track of the correct media type (for example, a stereo audio track for a
stereo source clip), a new track is created to accommodate the clip.
To set sequence In and Out points
You can use In and Out points in a sequence to help you place and rearrange clips.
1
Navigate to the In point in the Timeline panel and click the Set In Point button
in the Program Monitor.
2
Navigate to the Out point in the Timeline panel and click the Set Out Point button
.
You can move the In and Out points together without affecting the duration by dragging the In/Out Grip (textured
area at the center of the shaded span between the In and Out points) in the Program Monitor or Timeline panel.
To set sequence In and Out points around a selection
1
In the Timeline panel, select a clip or gap in the sequence.
2
Choose Marker > Set Sequence Marker > In and Out Around Selection. This sets sequence In and Out points that
match the selection’s In and Out points.
This command is particularly useful when replacing or removing clips in the sequence using three- and four-point
editing methods. (See “Three-point and four-point edits” on page 119.)
To remove sequence In and Out points
Note:
Sequence In and Out points are automatically removed when you perform a lift or extract edit from the Program
Monitor.
1
Make sure that the sequence is open in the Program Monitor.
2
Choose Marker > Clear Sequence Marker, and then choose an option to clear the In point, the Out point, or both.
You can also clear an In or Out point by Alt-clicking the Set In button
or the Set Out button
.
Three-point and four-point edits
The Source and Program Monitors provide controls to perform three-point and four-point edits—standard
techniques in traditional video editing.
