It would be amazing to simply grab a track and move it up or down in the order of the sequence. This was something I could do easily back when I used Vegas Pro. Occasionally, I have big, complex sequences and would like to reorder the tracks for organization purposes or for shipping off to audio master. Thanks!
This is absolute BULL****! You mean, I'm paying an extortion fee to RENT their software instead of being able to own it and PP doesn't have the BASIC, ELEMENTARY functionality of reordering TRACKS! I remember 20 years ago I was editing with Sony Vegas, Final Cut Pro and even iMovie and you could do that way back then. ADOBE! Are you listening to the people you willfully extort with your subsCraption fees??! Truly UN-BELIEVE-ABLE!
Only been using premiere for about 3 months after coming from Vegas Pro, and not having this in the software from day 1 is surprising enough, not having implemented it by now is ridiculous. Vegas may be less powerful in many ways but it's User Interface was easier for quick work.
OMFG Adobe. I've just started using PP again after a 5 year break and only because I have a subscription for other products and FFS! It is still like smashing your head against a brick wall. Every feature is so clunky and basic features completely missing. I just want to click and drag a track up or down. It can be done in every other NLE and DAW program for the last 20 years. Why do we even have to google simple things like this for PP? Also, still no setting for the playhead to simply return to where it started after stopping. No simple LUT viewer. No simple Lumetri HSL colour sliders. I think it's time to learn Resolve.
It is absolutely insane to me that you can't just move a track and reorder them, what the heck? It should take 2 seconds to do that. That's like the simplest functionality I would expect from a video editing application. Why must everything in Premiere be so convoluted?
This would be a very useful feature. For example - I have narration on one track, interviews on another, then sfx, then music - but then I ant to change the order.
This is a feature that is not worth having until the day you realized how it is the perfect solution to your problem. When tracks have names; when audio tracks have a specific set of effects applied. Moving the clips and the recreating the individual track scenarios is a real pain. Re-ordering the tracks would be so easy. So I am all for this.
This is exactly one of those reasons I'm so sick of Adobe. Are they even working with their own software!? Every day you find something new frustrating.
Would love to have this option. Screenshot attached is from davinci resolve. Some times at the trunover stages audio, even needes some rearrangement. Yes you can create new track at prefred location and move clips to that. But the process is not easy.
In the middle of editing, I just decided I need a color matte behind some .jpg images. Premiere will add a new track above the existing tracks. But if I apply the color matte to the new track, it will overlay everything below. So I need to move the new track below the track with the images. It would be nice to be able to do that by dragging tracks.
Like with after effects or about any other Adobe program, I'd also like to be able to drag a track (i.e., Layer), including the clips therein, up or down to a different position to organize or to even temporarily aid in a task. Jennifer is right, folks, are you listening?
