Beginner - Moving Video and Audio Tracks

  • October 5, 2017

When I drag the linked clip up a video track, want the audio to follow down to the next track.

As of now when I drag the video up a track the audio, although linked and selected, stays on the same track as you see in the pic. I need the audio to drop down to another track as well.

 

Is there a shortcut or something I am missing?

 

Thanks!

    It actually worked and you don't even know how many keyboard combinantion I've tried.

    The trick was moving the video up and then without releasing ctrl+shift I moved the mouse cursor down to the audio in order to move it down and in tandem.

    It was also written on point number 4 but I was missing the proper key combination.

    Thanks a lot again for your quick reply.


    Are you guys on Windows? Because on Mac it's cmd + shift.

    This actually works like Stefan described just add COMMAND to SHIFT and you can drag down to select which audio track to shift to. Actually better than the way FCP worked because you can target a track rather than it automatically staggering. Tested in version 13.0.1 (2019).

      It changed to Ctrl+Shift.

        is this still working for you in v 12.1.0? It doesn't work for me - the video portion comes back down when I move the audio portion.

        What does work which is pretty similar is to drag the video portion of the clip up, let go of the mouse left click, then drag the audio portion of the clip down.

        Unlike Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro does not move linked video and audio tracks up/down the tracks in unison. But you can make that happen by following this simple trick:

        1. Drag your video clip (or clips) up one (or more) tracks (ex. V1 to V3).
        2. Don't let go of your mouse button.
        3. Press the Shift key and hold it down while you move your mouse down towards the audio tracks. This will "push" them down, exactly the way you wanted them to go in the first place.

        (I found this tip on Creative Cow courtesy of Joshua Preiswerk in this thread: Audio Clips Don't Move in Tandem with Video Clip.)

        Does this tip work for you? I just tried it out and it works for me.
