A number of Premiere Elements 2020 minor annoyances

[AdobeAlexS]

Of course I may not have educated myself properly?

a) There is no way still of moving track up and down in the timeline without creating additional tracks yes?

b) Sometimes I can't delete some empty tracks. I have an empty video track and audio track that simply refuses to be deleted when I right click and click "delete empty tracks". Yes they are definately empty, I've pressed "render" as well in case that makes a difference, even restarted the application.

c) When I delete a clip and close the gap, it would be really useful that the playback head follows along with it rather than stay where it is.

d) Sometimes when I delete and close gap on a clip, it does not work (just deletes and does not move the clip). If I select just the empty gap afterwards and then "Delete and close gap", it is grayed out, so I end up just dragging the clip after deletion. Maybe it's something I'm not understanding.a

More soon maybe..

Thanks..

Thanks for sharing. Though this is a user to user forum so, if you're looking for improvements in the program, we can't help.

You should contact Adobe with any feature requests.

Thanks. But I'm looking for validation here from users before I do that (please see first line I wrote).

I know this is a user forum.

Can anybody confirm?

" Sometimes when I delete and close gap on a clip, it does not work "

If there is anything on a video track or audio track above or below the clip you are deleting, it won't close the gap.

d) You are bang on there, it happens under those conditions. How can I do this on a per track basis? Thx.

" How can I do this on a per track basis?"

You can't.  It's just the way it works.

[AdobeAlexS]

I get why it works that way, but there are use cases for this. I'll send Adobe an enhancement request.

Any comments on a,b,c of original post?

Thanks!
