  • Shift drag option?

    Posted by Elizabeth Johnson on March 22, 2017 at 6:01 pm

    Hi all,

    In FCP, there is an option to shift drag in a straight line on the timeline. For example, if you have subtitles on channel 3 and you want to drag them down one channel to channel 2, you can just hit shift and drag them down and they’ll end up in the same place just one channel below.

    Is there something like this in Premiere? I’m trying to drag titles down from one channel to another, but they always end up in a different place which isn’t good for subtitles that are timed to dialogue.

    Thanks!

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your reply. That doesn’t work for me, unfortunately. Do you have any other suggestions?

    I think David meant to say opt/down arrow and option/up arrow (that’s alt on a PC).

    Thanks for correcting me Simon, that is exactly what I meant to write.
