When moving a clip to another track, why does the linked audio stay in the original track?
This may be a stupid question, but google hasn’t turned up anything useful…
I have two clips linked with audio on the same video/audio track. When I drag one clip on top of another (to a second video track) the audio stays on the same track and overrides the other clip’s audio. It is annoying to have to move the audio and video separately to the second audio and video tracks.
Final Cut does it automatically (if you move video to the second track, it moves the linked audio to the second track as well). Any way to do this automatically with Premiere?
Thanks!

That is the way it is designed.
Drag the audio to a lower track before moving the clip.
In previous version the audio followed the video, i think it was Pro2.0 and older. -
Thanks for the reply!
This seems like an odd decision… any reasoning behind why they did this?
Thanks,

Great news on this question!
With Premiere Pro you can actually move the video and audio tracks with complete freedom.
The technique is a little complex…seemingly…until you practice it a little. But you can place your audio and video tracks on ANY track you’d like without having to move them separately!

Here it is in a nutshell:
drag the video to the track where you want it
press and hold shift (locking the video to that track)
still holding shift…drag your cursor below the video line and place your audio in the desired track…and your clip in the desired location.
Release the mouse first.
If you release the shift key first, hit ctrl-z and this time remember to release the mouse first.
