Hi there,

I need a sequence without an audio track. It's an animation to dag and drop into the editing without disturbing the audio.

If I delete audio tracks, at least one remains. How can I get rid of it?

There always be one audiotrack or videotrack for that matter.

I was trying to do the same thing. Sadly, it's impossible to do in Premiere. There's always one audio track even if you delete everything. There's no way to adjust the Sequence settings to be only video sadly.

Hi @TorQueMoD2 ,

Premiere is an Audio-Visual software, so I'm not surprised.

If the presence of an audio track visually bugs you, then you could maybe resize the audio track so that you don't see it at all. Or maybe if your work is animation heavy, you could shift to After effects (if you're sure you don't need audio).

Also if you're concerned about having audio in the export, you could always switch off audio and export only video.

Hope this is of some help.

Cheers,

Yash

Do you mean remove the audio? You can right click it and unlink it or double click itin the bin, from the source window - drag the little video symbol that says "drag video only"

That's not what they meant. They have a sequence with only an animation or video in it, and they want to be able to drag the sequence into another sequence for quick reuse. When you do that though, it also drags in an empty audio track which messes up the existing audio in your other sequence. There's also no way to preview a sequence because it's not considered a source so you can't drag only the video in.

It's really irritating, actually. I can definitively say the functionality doesn't exist sadly. It won't let you delete the last audio track and if you try to delete them from the sequence when you create it, you get an error that says you must have at least one audio track.
If there's no audio in a sequence, Premiere shouldn't try to insert a blank audio track as well. It's a total waste.
