  • Drag selecting video and audio is weird

    Posted by Tobias Aleksander moen on January 25, 2021 at 11:05 am

    I have a problem where if I drag to select one video clip it works fine, but if I drag down to include audio clips as well the video clip is deselected. I uploaded a video to show you the problem. This is kind of annoying to work with so I am hoping someone knows how to change this, if it is possible.

    They’re currently Unlinked.

    Lasso the Video & Audio Clips you’re wanting to move together, Right/CMD+Click on them and select “Link” from the DropDown Menu. Linked Video clips will have a “[V]” symbol beside the Clip Name & Linked Audio will have a “[A]”.

    Thank you for your reply, but I know they are not linked. I don’t want to link them because it is a multicam sequence which means I will place a lot more cuts on the video track than on the audio track, and then the linked audio will not be linked with the correct video clip.

    The problem is simply that when I drag select both the video and audio – as you can see in the thumbnail of the video – the video doesnt get selected which is really weird. For the video to be selected with the audio in that way I have to start draging from above the video I am trying to select.

    Ah, gotcha. I ran into that where the video track was selected & would somehow de-select itself, it’s been awhile so I forget the fix.

    Done the usual suspects? (updated graphics driver & Premiere updates)
