  • Dragging/Sliding Clips in Timeline: Audio doesn’t move under other audio tracks

    Posted by David Intrator on August 23, 2011 at 6:47 pm

    Moving from FCP to PP and have a timeline question.

    I have 2 video tracks, two stereo tracks and 4 mono tracks in my timeline.

    What I’m considering here is video track 1 with its one corresponding stereo audio track 1. The other video and audio tracks are empty for the moment.

    When I grab a clip and “slideª it up and over to the right, e.g, its corresponding stereo audio track overwrites the audio of the next clip, remaining on audio track 1, while the video track “slides” above the video track to its right, taking its place on video track 2, which is what I’d expect.

    I can’t figure out a way to ensure that the corresponding audio track “slides under” audio track 1 and takes its place on audio track 2, thereby avoiding
    the overwrite of the existing audio on audio track 1.

    This is what I’ve been used to in FCP and would appreciate your help.

    Thanks.

    Slide your clip to the position you want it to be in the video track.
    Still hold the mouse down and press ctrl, now move the mouse over to the audio part and drag it to the audio track you want it to be.

    I am sorry but I tried this trick of using Control but no luck. Can you give more detail please. I am on a Mac (which I assume author of the question was on as well).

    Thanks for your help!
