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!
Been yelling about this for over three years now. And over those years have started doing more and more projects in Resolve. As of 2021 I no longer recommend Premiere to my students, because of Adobe's inability to properly document its software or address basic functional features like this.
Frustrating only begins to describe the effect of the lack of this feature. The break between Video and Audio tracks also needs to be optional. In general, visualization and layout are very personal to the workflow of not only every editor but every project. Lack of customization in the timeline seems rigid and this, with what appears to be a lack of a valid reason for this rigid, non—user-responsive approach.
Extremely basic feature and I'm genuinely astounded that this isn't possible. It's literally a layer re-ordering feature which is standard in most Adobe packages. Unbelievable amount of headache to have to work around this. Extremely poor, and even worse is how long ago this was originally posted as a request.
This is really something you would expect to be a feature from the very start, it's not a complicated action in the slightest and would get a lot of use, and apparently other video editing programs already have it.... So?? Where is it Adobe?
Been using Prem Pro for around 7 years and presumed there was a quick way to reorder tracks and I'd just forgotten it.
This is what frustrates me sometimes about Adobe - they're too concerned with adding new bells and whistles to apps when in reality most users would prefer them absolutely nailing the basics that we'd use day in day out i.e. reordering tracks in PP or spellcheck in After Effects etc.
I will say though, the auto-captioning function that's recently come to PP is a brilliant timesaver.
Hello Adobe. This feature isn't a "maybe would be cool". We're asking you to give us a spoon instead of a fork to eat our soup. And you advertise Premiere with "tools that just make sense". So please do something for your money and use some common sense. Imagine having a browser, and you can't move your tabs...
I'm stunned this is not possible. I was just now trying to add 5 FX tracks but they only get added to the top of the other tracks with no way to move them.
Hey friends, I think we all believe this would be a useful feature. Sounds like there’s lots of frustration about this missing feature, but I wonder if we can turn that into a productive energy by rallying the community to upvote this request so it reaches Adobe’s threshold to read and respond to it. Invite some friends to the party, leave more genuine feedback comments about how useful this would be, and let’s see if we can get a response!
It would be great to add collapsible/twirl down tracks. That way you can group multiple tracks and collapse them. Would be especially helpful when you have tons of audio tracks.
I was convinced this was possible until I found this thread. Used to this all the time in Avid. A workaround is copying a sequence into a sequence and re-arranging the source tracks, but really... this is such a basic feature.
Bumping for 2022 release. Adobe... It's been 4 years. Please. Using track effects or track based keyframing means that you simply can't just shift individual clips around to different tracks as a workaround. It would lose all the track effects and keyframing you've done.
I agree. It is a waste of precious time to go without something so basic. I have used Premiere Pro for years, but have been editing video all the way back to Pinnacle Studio 1.0 / AVID Liquid.
