  • Stacking multiple audio clips when dropping them in a sequence

    Posted by Matt Hogan on March 18, 2015 at 3:57 am

    Currently when you select multiple audio tracks and drag them into the timeline, premiere places them one after another on a single track. Is there a way to have each audio clip land on a separate track? I have up to 4 tracks of audio to synch up and it would be much faster if they would all land on separate tracks. Any suggestions?

    Hi Matt, I’m searching for the same solution, have you found out any shortcut? thanks

    I found a way that is a little faster. If you select the 4 tracks in the project pane and right-click you can select “Merge clips”- when you do that Premiere creates a new 4 channel clip. I created an “audio” folder with a folder called “orig” nested in it. After I merged the first 4 clips I moved them to the “orig” folder. I kept doing that until I had merged them all. That way I didn’t get confused as to which ones I had already worked on.
    Hope that helps.

    There is a caveat – once you merge the audio clips you can’t merge them with a video clip – the option is grayed out.
