Editing sequences and clips
Targeting a track while dragging a clip to a sequence
• When you add clips to a sequence by pasting, (or keyboard shortcuts), you must specify target tracks in advance.
You can target more than one video track or more than one audio track at a time. Also, you can choose to target a
video track only or an audio track only. Click the track or tracks you want to target in the track header area of a
Timeline panel. The track header area for a targeted track appears highlighted.
You can also assign keyboard shortcuts to some track targeting commands.

If you overwrite a clip, only the clips in targeted tracks are affected, whether you drag the clip or use a Source Monitor's
Overwrite button.
If you insert a clip, the clip goes into the targeted tracks, and clips in any unlocked tracks where the source clip lands
shift to accommodate the insertion. You can specify other tracks to also shift by enabling Sync Lock on them.
To insert a clip and not shift clips in other tracks, Ctrl-Alt-drag (Windows) or Command-Option-drag (Mac OS) the
clip into the track.
You can drag video clips to any video track; however, you can drag audio clips only to a compatible audio track. Audio
clips can't be added to the master audio track or submix tracks, and they can be placed only on audio tracks of the
matching channel type: mono, stereo, or 5.1 (see
Clips with linked video and audio can be dragged to either a video or an audio track, but the clip's video and audio
components appear separately, in the appropriate corresponding tracks.
Note: You can drag a clip to any unlocked, compatible track in a sequence, no matter which tracks are currently targeted.
You can't target a locked track. Locking a target track deselects it as the target.
