Editing sequences and clips
• (Roman keyboards only) To zoom into or out of a clip as you drop it into a Timeline panel, drag and press the equal
sign key (=) to increase the zoom factor or press the minus sign key (–) to decrease it. Do not use the keys on the
number pad.
The clip will land in a Timeline panel, and a Timeline panel will become active, making it easy to playback the clip just
added to the sequence.
Note: You can also drag, or Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac OS), a clip into the Program Monitor to
overwrite or insert a clip. Make sure the track you want is targeted in a Timeline panel and the current-time indicator is
at the location where you want to add the clip in the sequence. To prevent an insert edit from shifting clips in any track,
turn off Sync Lock for that track, or alternatively, lock the track.

Drag video only or audio only to a sequence
You can add the video track, the audio tracks, or both types of tracks of a clip to a sequence. When you drag a clip from
the Project panel or from the main viewing area of the Source Monitor, you automatically add both types of tracks. If
you want to add only one type of track, add it from the Source Monitor.
Double-click a clip in a Project panel or Timeline panel to open it in the Source Monitor.

2 In the Source Monitor, do one of the following:
• To drag all audio and video tracks of the clip, drag from anywhere inside the main viewing area.
• To drag only the video track of the clip, drag from the Drag Video Only icon
• To drag only the audio tracks, first target in the Timeline panel the tracks you want to receive the clip audio tracks.
Then map the audio tracks you want to use to the target audio tracks. Then, drag from the Drag Audio Only icon
Note: Drag Video Only and Drag Audio Only are not buttons. They are icons that provide a place to click when starting
the respective drag operations.

Add a track while adding a clip
❖
Drag a clip from the Project panel or Source Monitor into the blank space above the topmost video track (for a video
or linked clip) or below the lowest audio track (for an audio or linked clip). Premiere Pro adds an audio track, a
video track, or both, depending on the content of the source clip.
Note: If the sequence doesn't have an unlocked track of the correct media type (for example, a stereo audio track for a
stereo source clip), a new track is created to accommodate the clip.
