  • Shifting a lot of clips vertically on the timeline but without moving horizontally (to stay in sync)

    Posted by Jonathan Wing on April 16, 2014 at 3:02 pm

    I sometimes need to grab a bunch of clips and move them up and down on the timeline several tracks, but they need to remain in sync. Now with snap turned on I can watch the tiny yellow timecode popup that tells me if I’m shifting the clips in time and watch to make sure I land on 00:00, but in my experience with FCP/Avid I could always just hold a modifier key like shift to ensure without fail that they won’t be moving in time and not have to worry or think about it. Seems to not be the case in Premiere.

    Minor thing but does anyone know if it’s possible?

    Hi Jonathan,
    Option+select with the Selection or Track Select tool, then press Option+Up or Down arrow keys. If you want to drag, they remain at 0:00 sync by default.

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Yes, I am aware of this feature for moving up one track or only a few tracks as needed, but I’m working with a large camera sequence with sometimes 30 tracks so moving a clip from V1 to V20 up one track at a time gets tedious using that way. Would be nice to be able to drag and release quickly. Oh well, I’ll put in for a small feature request.
    Thanks for your input though!
