How to Overlay Clips in Premiere
- 1). Double-click on a video or audio clip in the project panel to open it in the source monitor.
- 2). Place the current-time indicator in the sequence you are viewing in the source monitor exactly where you want your clip to start.
- 3). Select the track(s) to the left of the timeline where you would like your clip to overlay. Clicking on the track(s) titles such as Video 1, Video 2 or Audio 1 until highlighted gray will select the track.
- 4). Drag the source clip track indicators to the tracks where you plan to overlay the clip.
- 5). Click on the overlay button or the overwrite button in Premiere CS5 and CS5.5. Both are just below the source monitor and indicated by a symbol of a downward arrow over a gray line. The clip should now be overlaid to the track(s) you selected.
