What It Does

Instantly nudges the selected clip up or down to the adjacent video or audio track without shifting it horizontally.

Pro Workflow Insight

Dragging clips vertically with a mouse often results in accidental horizontal shifting, completely ruining your audio sync. This shortcut guarantees your clip stays perfectly in time while changing tracks.

Step-by-Step

Select a clip in the timeline, hold Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac), and press the Up or Down arrow key. The clip will perfectly snap to the track above or below.
