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.

To place the video and audio portions of a clip into tracks you specify, drag the video portion to the destination video track. Press and
hold Shift. This will pin the video portion to the specified video track. Continue holding Shift and drag downward past the bar separating
video and audio tracks. Release the mouse and release Shift when the audio portion of the clip lies over the destination audio track.

To overwrite other clips, drag one or more clips and drop them on the track where the other clips are located.

To move only one track of a linked clip, press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and drag the part of the clip, audio or video, you want to
move. You do not need to hold the Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) key after you initiate the edit. The video and audio will lose sync.
