How to move clips on the timeline

Selecting and moving clips on the elevate.io timeline is super simple. There are several ways to do it depending on what you need to do.

Click and drag with the Pointer tool

Use the Pointer tool — located directly above the timeline on the left — to click and hold a clip. Then drag it horizontally to move it to a different point in time or vertically to move it to a different video track.

Select multiple clips

Click, hold and drag your pointer across multiple clips to select them all. This is great for moving multiple clips at the same time without having to select each one individually.

Select all forwards or backwards

If you need to move an entire section of the timeline at once, directly above the timeline on the left, you'll find the following tools:

• Select forwards — Click and hold once on the timeline to select everything to the right of that point.

• Select backwards — Click and hold to select everything to the left.
