How to view clip while dragging in timeline

I'm using Premiere Pro 14.

I'm new to using the program, so this migh be super simple.

Is it possible to view the clip while dragging it in the timeline?

I can drag the play-head and it will show the clip accordingly.

But if I have the play-head in a fixed position and drag the clip, I would like to view the clip as I drag it in the timeline. Is that possible? If yes - how do I make it happen?

Thanks

Looks like it's not an option in Premiere Pro.

So - I've created a suggestion to Adobe.

If you are searching for this feature as well - you can vote on it right here...

    Not while dragging, just let go of the mouse.

    Thanks for your feedback @Ann Bens 

    I can see that the preview updates as I release the mouse.

    But suppose I have a separate audio and video clip.

    I listen to the audio and finds a spot where i pause the play-head.

    Now I want to find the position in the video clip that matches the point where the play-head is.

    If I can preview the clip while I drag it, I can position the clip correctly.

    Now I have to guess and let go of the mouse. If' it's no correct I have to drag again and make a new guess and release the mouse. And so it continues until it finally match up.

    It would be much better if I could have a preview of what's going on under the play-head as I drag the clip.

    But - if I get your reply correctly - that's not possible ??

    You can use markers to mark the spot.

    Might want to work the other way around. Set audio to the video.

    Video can be moved only one frame.

    Audio on the other hand 1/48000 of a second.
