Easily swap the track arrangement (shifting tracks up or down)

Participant ,

Hey all,

Is there a way to shift an entire track up or down placing them in the order or arrangement you want?

 

I want to be able to grab V1 and move it to where V3 is, so that it's above the other footage on V2.

Or grab A6 and pull it up to A2, Making old A6 now A2, and previous A2 is now A3.

 

Curently (as far as I know) you have to highlight all the clips on the track and bump them up when highlighted.

2 problems accure, if you bump up and land on the track above it will overwrite the clips above, or if you unlink the audio video you may misalign sound from video.

 

How is this not a feature? When I started out 15 years ago with Sony Vegas, it was available. 15 years later I still can't do that in Premiere, or am I missing something?

yeah, but if you're linked to audio when moving video ( and that audio also wants to move when you tell it to via video track selection ( and that link to audio).. then it gets messed up... you could overwrite the audio at that point or push it ... you're right it's complicated... and I think you can go to the far left and move the tracks ( like move V2 up to V1  ? ) but I don't remember really.... I'll open cs6 and see if I can do that...

 

I don't have new subscription stuff.

 

🙂

 

good luck !

Select Track Selection Forward Tool (A).

Hold down Ctrl and click on first clip

Drag everthing up or down (dont let go of the ctrl) to new empty track.

really in Premiere easy function to move down up tracks isn't available. Since 2017 I ve been trying to find the way to do that. Terrible. I need just move up and down tracks without audio tracks. Why it's impossible to do that in Premiere. It's the easiest neccesary function in all programmes.  Only not for Premiere.
