Add tracks

Last updated on Jun 23, 2025

Learn about adding new audio or video tracks in Adobe Premiere Pro.

New video tracks appear above the existing video tracks, and new audio tracks appear below existing ones. Deleting a track removes all clips in the track but does not affect source clips listed in the Project panel. Any number of tracks can be added to a project, limited only by your system’s resources. You can add a track as you add a clip to the sequence.

With the Timeline panel active, right-click the track and select Add Track from the drop-down list.

In the Add Tracks dialog box, do any of the following:

To add the number of tracks you want, enter a number in the add field for video, audio, and audio submix tracks.
To specify the placement of added tracks, choose an option from the Placement menu for each type of track added.
To specify the type of audio or submix track you want to add, choose an option from the Track Type menu.

Note:

An audio track can accept only audio clips that use the matching channel type — mono, stereo, or 5.1. If you’re not sure what kind of audio your clips use, select the clip in the Project panel and read its information in the preview area.
