Can't Move Video Clip to Another Track

[wendiweb]

Hi,

I have a clip on track 5 that I want to move to track 4. For some reason Premiere isn't letting me do this ridiculously simple thing...a thing I have done a million times before. There is no audio attached to this clip and the tracks are enabled. What gives? I'm pulling my hair out here! CC 13.0.2 Mac.

Thanks!

Sorry I forgot to mention that I can however drag it to track 3. Why not 4?! It's got to be some stupid setting I'm missing.

Thanks!

FAQ: Why does audio or video not go to the track where I drop it?

Thanks but this doesn't answer my question unfortunately. I'm trying to drag a clip within the timeline to a different track. Everything is patched correctly and all the video tracks are turned on.

Please post screenshot of timeline.

Here you go! The clip in Violet it the one I want to move. I've tried unlinking, deselecting and reselecting, targeting tracks etc. I have no idea. I can move it to different tracks but just not track 4. Thanks!

Might be a corrupt sequence, Wendiweb. Try copy/pasting clips into a brand new sequence. If that won't work, try a new project and a new sequence.

Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks Kevin! I tried that but still same problem.

How does Alt/Opt DOWN arrow work?

Well THAT was interesting. Option + Drag didn't work but now it's fine. I can move it everywhere now. LOL. Thanks!!

Sure, glad to hear it.

This worked for me: close and re-open the project.
