Splitting a clip
You can split a clip in the sequence by using the razor tool . Splitting a clip creates a new
and separate instance of the original clip. It can be useful when you want to use different
effects that can’t both be applied to a single clip, such as different speed settings. When
you split a clip, Adobe Premiere Pro creates a new instance of the clip and any clips to
which it is linked. By Alt-clicking with the razor, you can split only the audio or video
portion of linked clips.
Note:
If you want to change effect settings over time, you needn’t split the clip; you can
apply keyframes to a single clip instead. See
“Working with keyframes in the Timeline
window” on page 222
.
To split a clip:
Do one of the following:
•
Position the current-time indicator where you want to split a clip, and choose
Sequence > Razor At Current Time Indicator.
•
Select the razor tool and click a clip in the sequence where you want to split it.
To split multiple tracks at the same point in the Timeline window:
Select the razor tool and Shift-click a clip in the sequence at the point where you want
to split clips in all tracks. Clips in all unlocked tracks split at that point. Each clip becomes
two independent instances.

Copying and pasting clips and clip attributes
You can rearrange existing clips in the sequence by copying and pasting. If you simply
paste a clip, Adobe Premiere Pro performs an overlay edit at the current-time indicator.
Alternatively, pasting a clip can perform an insert edit at the current-time indicator.
You can copy and paste multiple clips at one time. The relative spacing (both horizontal
spacing in time, and vertical spacing in tracks) of clips is maintained.
