How to delete part of the video and replace it with another with the same length.
Hello everyone, I’m still learning Premier Pro and I wonder if you can help me. I’m working on Premier Pro CS4. Here’s my question. If I have 5 clips with audio in my time line, and say clip3 is 4 minutes long. But between 2-3 minutes the video gets very shaky and ugly(videographer’s fault). So I want to cut out ONLY that part of the clip(just the video and not the audio) and replace it with another clip, and ultimately still remain with a 4 minute long clip and still use the same audio. How do I do that?
Is there a way to sort of “cut and replace with another” in PP? I know how to cut and delete the part I don’t want, but my challenge is getting the new clip(the one I want to replace with) to be the same length as the part that I cut out. I hope I’m making sense. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Sure. Unlink the audio from the video and then use the Razor tool to slice the footage into 2 sections. For the shaky section, use the Replace footage function.

You could also trim the video portion only, (Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) to affect only the video portion), and then Overwrite a video only edit into the blank area.
