Copy-and-paste between sequences - strange behavior

When I copy and paste a clip between sequences. The pasted clip is going to the track that corresponds to the track it was on in the source sequence, not the track that is active in the target sequence. For example, I copy a clip on V3 in Sequence 1 and then paste it into Sequence 2 where only V1 is blue but the clip ends up on V3. No matter which tracks are blue, the clip comes in on V3. I opened the same project on a different system and it pastes as expected, on the highest track that is blue.

 

Any idea why this is happening?

Hey Kyle,

This was a change made in the June 2022 release of Premiere Pro. By default, ctrl/Command + V will paste to the same track. If you wish to paste it to the target track, you can set a key bind in the Keyboard Shortcuts menu (Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts). Search for "Paste to Target Track." Sorry if I misunderstood your question. If that's the case, please share more details.

 

Thanks,

Ishan

Why did they changed that? It wasn't broken and just worked.

It was something that added more options, which were wanted by some users. Though, it also added more complexity.

 

And of course, you now have to get used to using the keyboard shorts they added for placing the paste on the track you want to.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
