Swap clips on the timeline

[STUDIO29K]

respect...
question...i have 7 or more clips on my timeline....how do I swap places, say...second and fifth with (shift, alt, ctrl commands) and all the others stay in their places... or first and fifth . ..fourth and seventh...ect...the question does not refer to two adjacent clips...thanks....is it possible at all, since I can't break the pattern how to do it...

You can swap clips on the timeline in two moves using Ripple Move.

1. Hold down Cmd/Ctrl + Opt/Alt, click and drag Clip 2 to before Clip 5. Make sure not to release the mouse or keys until the clip is in place.
2. Then hold Cmd/Ctrl + Opt/Alt again and click and drag Clip 5 to after Clip 1.

For more details, you can refer to this Adobe Help page: Rearranging clips in a sequence - Adobe Help

greetings, thanks for your reply...
I know that and it's familiar to me... I wasn't clear in the post... what you wrote is the replacement of clips from two paths, I meant from one, like when you change the places of two adjacent clips....
means replacing the first and fifth, third and tenth, fourth and eighth...ect, from one paths...
if it is impossible for now (from one pats)...it would be nice to see that function in the future....
or to select the second and third clips and replace them with the eighth and ninth (from one pats)... greetings...

Now what of I want to swap whole sections of my timeline; multiple clips of varying lengths across multple tracks of audio and video. When I try this with clips and they dont have matching media on each track, everything gets out of sync and i end up doing this the "noob" way of just selecting everything downstream and moving it to make a gap and manually select my clip selection again and then manually close the gap.

This is a "shuffle" with the modifier keys already mentioned in another reply, but you have to do it twice.

So, you'd shiffle clip 5 before clip 2 and then clip 2 (now clip 3) before clip 6.
