Replace one clip with another
You can replace one clip in the Timeline with another from the Source Monitor or a bin, retaining any effects that
were applied to the original clip in the Timeline.
Using one of the following keyboard modifiers, drag a clip from the Project panel or Source Monitor onto a clip in
the Timeline panel:
• To use the In point of the new clip, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS).
•
To apply the In point of the original clip to the new clip, Shift-Alt-drag (Windows) or Shift-Option-drag (Mac OS).
In the Timeline, clip position and effects are preserved, and any effects that were applied to the original clip are
applied to the replacement clip.
You can also replace a clip in the Timeline by selecting it, selecting a replacement clip in a bin or the Source
Monitor, and then selecting Clip > Replace With Clip > [replacement type].
Make 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.
In a three-point edit, you mark either two In points and one Out point, or two Out points and one In point. You
don't have to actively set the fourth point; it's inferred by the other three. For example, in a typical three-point edit
you would specify the starting and ending frames of the source clip (the source In and Out points), and when you
want the clip to begin in the sequence (the sequence In point). Where the clip ends in the sequence—the unspecified
sequence Out point—is automatically determined by the three points you defined. However, any combination of
three points accomplishes an edit. For example, sometimes the point where a clip ends in a sequence is more critical
than where it begins. In this case, the three points include source In and Out points, and a sequence Out point. On
the other hand, if you need the clip to begin and end at particular points in the sequence—say, perfectly over a line
of voice-over narration—you could set two points in the sequence, and only one point in the source.
In a four-point edit, you mark source In and Out points and sequence In and Out points. A four-point edit is useful
when the starting and ending frames in both the source clip and sequence are critical. If the marked source and
sequence durations are different, Adobe Premiere Pro alerts you to the discrepancy and provides alternatives to
resolve it.
