im working with several tracks in a sequense (6 video tracks and 6 audio tracks. It will be easier for me to have each audio track under its correspondent video track but there is a separatos that avoids mixing the order of the tracks. How can i remove this separator?

Thank you

    This is just the way professional editors work.  Video tracks on top, audio on bottom.

    Ok, At this point i got it very clear. The question is: as professional how do you deal with multiple tracks with chromakey to compose one scene? bcz you need to sinc the audio but there are too many tracks... i get confused all the time, thats my problem. its a 45 minutes episode and i have to end the job till monday. Im kind of desperated right now

    Normally, actors aren't shot separately like that.  So you're starting off doing things odd.

    For myself, I prefer to record audio in camera.  This keeps everything synced up.  But even without that, you can manually sync the audio to the video and "link" them together so they behave as one clip.

    Hi,

    Sorry, it can't be done afaik.

    After Effects works on a layers principle where the audio is embedded. But not an ideal solution for editing of course.

    You may want to look at Rush. Whilst Audio and video are still separated, it is a little different.

    Hmmm, i never heard about that program before. Can you confirm if Premiere Rush have suport to advanced editing tools like ultrakey / opacity control / color corrector? If its easier to edit there and i could get the work done with quality it worth a try. i just cant waste time trying useless programs like i did with vegas and filmora bcz i just have till monday to finish this.

    You cannot. It is by design. Dont think this will ever change (hope not!!)

    If you want audio under video you might want to consider Premiere ELEMENTS.

    Are you sure theres no Options to remove it temporally? I dont think a professional program like Premiere works just in one way. And i cant use PrElements bcz it's all chroma key videos with actors and i have to edit like they are togheter in the scene. its so hard for me to sync the audio bcz as the audio is separated i have to mute one by one to figure out which video the audio belongs to. some might say i could label them but its more complicated than this... ive tryed filmora but it has the same separator line (at least in the trial version). If anyone knows a way to get rid of this separator or another way for me to do it easier im all ears

    I agree that it can't be done.

    I think "pancake" editing will use up too much space for other reasons, but here is one thread describing the concept. It does part of what you are describing, but in multiple sequences.

    Re: Having more than one sequence appear when editing?

    Another discussing shortcuts/workflow.

    Moving clips between sequences in the timeline instead of copying?
