  • tool to move a single track in Premiere Pro CC 2018 doesn’t work with Final Cut shortcuts anymore

    Posted by Leonard Frankford on February 5, 2018 at 8:50 pm

    I applied the FCP keyboard to Adobe Premiere when I moved to Premiere a few years ago. Everything has worked well for me. With the latest update of Premiere Pro CC 2018, however, something has happened to the track select/move tool. Originally, I would type T for moving a single track, then hold down Shift for all tracks. Then with CC they reversed it: press T and all tracks are selected by default, hold down Shift to change it to a single arrow and move the selected track. With the latest update the default of moving all tracks still works. But when I hold down the Shift key and get the single arrow, I am unable to move the selected track. Instead, I get an icon that prompts to move the clips up or down without letting them slide one way or the other. But the clips are locked if I try to slide them horizontally. There is probably a new protocol for this move but I haven’t figured it out. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Hello!

    1. First, You must choose “Track Select forward Tool”(hotkey “A” in cc 2019) in “Timeline tools pannel”. Then hold down Shift to change it to a single arrow and select the track by the left mouse button .

    2. Then, while holding the left mouse button, you have to release the shift button and move the track while holding the left mouse button.

    In this case you move video track with the linked audio. If you want to move only video track then:

    3. You must choose “Track Select forward Tool”(hotkey “A” in cc 2019) in “Timeline tools pannel”. Then hold down Shift to change it to a single arrow and select track that you need.

    4. Then press the right button mouse under selected track and choose “Unlink” in context menu.

    5. Repeat stage 1 – 2.
