Source Monitor drag not working after in/out points

Can’t drag marked clips from Source Monitor in Premiere Pro

Description:
Until recently, I could set a mark in and mark out in the Source Monitor and then drag the selected portion of the clip directly from the monitor into my timeline (either video, audio, or both). Since yesterday, I can still drag the full clip when no in/out points are set, but as soon as I mark in/out, I can no longer drag the clip from the monitor nothing happens.

What still works:

I can drag from the “Drag Video Only” and “Drag Audio Only” icons below the Source Monitor.
I can insert/overwrite with , and . shortcuts.
The issue only occurs when trying to drag video either as video only or audio only in the Source Monitor after setting in/out points.

Already tried:

Resetting workspace
Re-enabling “Drag Video Only / Audio Only” buttons
Resetting preferences
Confirmed track targeting (V1/A1) is enabled
Tested with different clips and projects

System:

Windows 11
Premiere Pro version: v25.5

Expected behavior:
Dragging a marked segment from the Source Monitor to the timeline should still work, as it did before.

Possible cause:
Appears to be a recent bug/change in newer Premiere version

Hi @Ann Bens that's unfortunately not the solution, as you can see i can drag footage into the timeline, but when i do a mark in and out it doens't work

As said before, you need to source patch the track.

Video track is not source patched (box far left) is only track targeted, which does not work for inserts and overwrites.

Hi @jurre_5934,
I'm sorry to hear you're having an issue. Seems strange. Can you send a video of the problem? That way, we can see the behavior and timeline settings to try to reproduce the issue.

I hope we can help you soon. Sorry for the frustration!
