Important notes
• You can rearrange Source indicators. Premiere Pro remembers the last arrangement (patching order), as it does for
regular clips.
• Premiere Pro displays all source tracks in the sequence that you load into the Source monitor.
• During drag editing, Premiere Pro ignores track targeting to let you place clips on any track.
• You can load a sequence containing a nested sequence clip into the Source monitor. The sequence remains a nested
sequence clip when you edit it into a different sequence.
• Premiere Pro copies the effects and transitions in source clips to the destination sequence, along with the clips.
Rearrange clips in a sequence
Move clips
You can place clips in playback order to create a sequence in a Timeline panel. You can also change the order of clips
once they are there, replace them, remove them, or insert additional clips.
Move clips in a Timeline panel
You can drag a clip and place it in an empty spot or snap it to another clip. You can also insert and overwrite clips that
you move. Watch the translucent rectangle that represents the clip’s duration as you drag it. To move multiple clips,
select a range of clips, or move a group of clips. A tool tip displays the amount of time moved as you drag. The window
displays a negative number if you drag the clip toward the beginning of the sequence, and a positive number if toward
the end.
Overwrite is the default mode and is indicated by the Overwrite icon when dragging clips. Pressing Ctrl
(Windows) or Command (Mac OS) as you drop a clip performs an insert edit. The Insert icon appears when you
drag clips while pressing Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS).
By default, you can change the track location of either portion of a clip, audio or video, by dragging that portion. The
other portion will remain in its original track. You can change this behavior, however, either by pressing Shift while you
drag, or by dragging vertically across the bar that separates the video tracks from the audio tracks. When you drag a
part of a clip vertically into a new track, it will snap to its original time location in the new track, if Snap is turned on.

Do one of the following:
• To move the audio portion of a clip to a different track, drag the audio portion of the clip vertically to the
destination audio track.
• To move the video portion of a clip to a different track, drag the video portion of the clip vertically to the
destination video track.
• To move the video portion of a clip to Video 1 and move the audio portion to a different audio track, drag the
video portion downward past the bar separating video and audio tracks. The video portion will remain in Video
1 while the audio portion will land in the audio track where you drop it.
• To move the audio portion of a clip to Audio 1 and move the video portion to a different video track, drag the
audio portion upward past the bar separating video and audio tracks. The audio portion will remain in Audio 1
while the video portion will land in the video track where you drop it.
