Inthe Quick view timeline or the Expert view timeline, you can groupclips so that you can move, disable, copy, or delete them together.When you group a linked clip with other clips, both the audio andvideo portions of the linked clip are included in the group.
So if you import a Premiere Pro composition into Adobe After Effects, you will see the markers in your timeline and vice-versa.To set a marker, simply hit the 'M' key on your keyboard. If you double-click the marker you can select color, add comments, change the duration, add links, and set chapter markers for DVD authorship. A tutorial on how to join clips together in Premiere Pro CC. This allows you to combine clips together with nesting.
- To group clips, select multiple clips,and choose Clip > Group.
- To ungroup clips, click any clip in the group to selectthe group, and choose Clip > Ungroup.
- To select one or more clips in a group of clips, Alt‑clicka single clip in a group. Shift+Alt‑click to select additional clipsin a group.
Most video includes a soundtrack.In the Project Assets panel, clips that contain both video and audioappear as a single item. When you add the clip to a movie in theExpert view timeline, the video and audio appear on separate trackswith the video directly above the audio.
The video and audioremain linked. When you drag the video portion in the Expert viewtimeline, the linked audio moves with it, and vice versa. For this reason,audio/video pairs are called linked clips. In the Expertview timeline, the names of linked clips are underlined and identifiedwith a [V] for video or [A] for audio.
All editing tasks (suchas moving, trimming, or changing the clip speed) act on both partsof a linked clip. You can temporarily override the link by pressingthe Alt key when you initiate editing tasks. You can also placethe video or audio portion separately.
You can link a video clip and anaudio clip so that they act as a unit. When you select, trim, split,delete, move, or change the speed of one, you affect the other clipas well. You can temporarily override the link as needed. In theExpert view timeline, the names of linked clips are underlined andidentified with a [V] for video or [A] for audio.
- To link video and audio clips, Shift-clicka video and audio clip to select them both, and then choose Clip >Link Audio And Video.
- To unlink video and audio clips, select a linked clipand choose Clip > Unlink Audio And Video. (Though theaudio and video are unlinked, they are both still selected. Reselecteither clip to use it separately.)
- To select linked clips individually, Alt‑click the desiredclip. After selecting it, you can move or trim the clip independentlyof its linked clip.
Note:
To quickly delete an audio or video clipwithout unlinking it, right‑click/ctrl-click the clip and chooseeither Delete Audio or Delete Video from the menu.
Delete only the audio or videoportion of a linked clip
- In the Expert view timeline, do oneof the following:
Right‑click/Ctrl-click the linked clipand choose Delete Audio or Delete Video.
Alt‑click the audio or video portion to select italone, and press the Delete or Backspace key.
Select a linked click and choose Clip >Unlink Audio And Video. Reselect either clip and choose Edit >Clear or Edit > Delete And Close Gap.
The clips shift over to fill the gap left by thedeleted clip.
AdobePremiere Elements automatically places video and its audio on separate tracksin the Expert view timeline. However, it links the clips so thatthey remain in sync as you trim or move them.
If you Alt‑dragone of the clips out of sync, Adobe Premiere Elements displays the numberof offset frames next to the clip name in the Expert view timeline.
Evenif you unlink the clips, Adobe Premiere Elements keeps track ofthe offset, and displays it again if you relink them. You can haveAdobe Premiere Elements automatically resynchronize the clips. Dependingon the clips, you can choose between two methods of synchronizing.
In the Expert view timeline, right‑click/ctrl-click the offset number of the clip you want to move.
The clip you right‑click/ctrl-click moves or adjusts toalign with the other clip, which remains in place.
Occasionally, you might want to disablea clip while you try a different editing idea or to shorten theprocessing time. Disabling a clip hides it when you view the moviein the Monitor panel or when you export the movie. You can stillmove or change a disabled clip.
- Select one or more clips in the Quick view timelineor the Expert view timeline, and choose Clip > Enable.
The check mark next to the command disappears when youdisable a clip, and the clip appears dimmed in the Quick view timelineand the Expert view timeline.
