In this Premiere Pro tutorial, we take a comprehensive look at the various different types of replace edits in Premiere Pro.
There are basically four types of replace edits in Premiere Pro. It is important to note that ALL of these will maintain the Motion, Effects, Speed Changes and other attributes of the clip you are replacing. They will also leave all transitions in tact.
- Replace With Clip From Source Monitor
- Will use in point from source clip if in point is set, otherwise will use the first frame of the source as the in point.
- Can be performed via right click on clip in the sequence.
- Can be performed via keyboard shortcut.
- Can be performed via Alt-Dragging from the source monitor to the clip in the sequence.
- Replace With Clip From Source Monitor, Match Frame
- Will edit from playhead to playhead. Meaning, whatever frame your playhead is at in the source will be matched to whatever frame your playhead is at in the sequence. Those with a Final Cut Pro background will know this behavior as a replace edit.
- Can be performed via right click on clip in the sequence.
- Can be performed via keyboard shortcut.
- Replace With Clip From Bin
- Will use in point from source clip in bin if in point is set, otherwise will use the first frame of the source as the in point.
- Can be performed via right click on clip in the sequence.
- Can be performed via keyboard shortcut.
- Can be performed via Alt-Dragging from the Project Panel to the clip in the sequence.
- Replace With Clip From Source Monitor or Bin KEEPING TIMELINE CLIP’s In Point.
- Will use the in point from the clip that is already in the sequence.
- Can be performed via Alt-Shift-Dragging from a clip in the Project Panel or Source Monitor to the clip in the sequence.
