Keyboard Shortcut to Move Clips Between Video Tracks

Hello Adobe Premiere Pro Team,

I would love to request a feature that allows users to move selected clips directly between video tracks (for example, from V1 to V2 or V2 to V3) using customizable keyboard shortcuts.

Currently, moving clips between tracks requires dragging them with the mouse, which slows down editing—especially on large timelines and during fast-paced editing workflows such as wedding films, documentaries, and multicam projects.

It would be incredibly helpful to have commands such as:

  • Move Clip Up One Video Track
  • Move Clip Down One Video Track
  • Move Clip Up One Audio Track
  • Move Clip Down One Audio Track

These commands should be fully customizable in the Keyboard Shortcuts panel, allowing editors to assign shortcuts like Alt + Up Arrow and Alt + Down Arrow.

This feature would significantly improve editing speed, reduce mouse usage, and bring Premiere Pro closer to the workflow efficiency offered by many other professional editing applications.

Thank you for considering this request.

If those shortcuts aren’t working for you, try resetting the preferences:

私の環境ではAlt + 上矢印 や Alt + 下矢印で クリップを移動できますが・・・
現状の機能とは別の挙動を求めていますか?
