Place one clip above another in the Timeline

You can place one clip above another without replacing a section of the lower clip as is done with an overlay. You can
use clips stacked in this way, for example, with various keying effects.

1 In the Timeline, drag the current-time indicator

to a location above a video clip where you want to overlay

another clip.

2 Shift-drag a clip from the Organize workspace and drop it onto the Monitor panel.

3 Choose Place On Top.

Adobe Premiere Elements drops the second clip into the first available video track at the location of the current-time
indicator.
