You have to drag it onto the track that you want. The other thing you'll notice is, it just overwrote everything on my timeline there, which is what I wanted it to do, because I used the Overlay command, because even if I use Insert, it still puts it on track 1, and it moves everything down, so how do you put it on track 2? Well, you can't with the keyboard shortcuts. Choosing the Trimmer to drop a clip in the timeline If I want to drop in a clip, I have to choose the Trimmer viewer and illuminate it in blue here by clicking on it ( Figure 5, below) and then hit the Insert button.įigure 5.

The other thing that threw me off was the fact that keyboard shortcuts do not work globally, at least as far as dropping clips onto your timeline is concerned, so when I set my playhead to where I want a clip to go in, and then I hit N, nothing happened. They are right next to each other on the keyboard, so at least you don't have to jump around looking for them, but that was something that threw me off at first. For inserting and overlaying a clip, you're probably used to period and comma, but in HitFilm, it's N and B.

Everything works fairly standard as far as how to put clips in, but there are a few issues that I had to contend with as a Premiere Pro editor. The editing process is really nothing surprising.
