It would be a bit of a pain to manage, I suppose, but you could do it.Īlternately, if you've got the suite and therefore Dynamic Link, just select the clips in the section of timeline you're trying to work with, and select Replace with After Effects Composition. Why is it too long for AE? After Effects has something like a 3 or 4-hour limit to a comp, which I imagine would be pretty difficult for most people to exceed. How disappointing - and a shame the project is too long for AE! I realize this isn't what you really want, but it's the best workaround I can think of. Just add one empty track to serve as a temporary landing zone, that you can move an individual nest into, and then continue to reshuffle until you get the order you want.
You might consider nesting each track (or track segment) in its own sequence, so at least you're only dragging one element up and down, instead of multiple small clips. At times I've wanted to reprioritise a track (to put it above another) so just draggng a track up would have been a quick way of doing it.

I'm currently working on something that has (at its peak) five small windows with different clips with lots of edits running with their own effects. I just think this capability would be so rarely needed that there is no point adding it it could potentially cause more trouble than good. How often does one need to completely rearrange the stacking order of an entire sequence? I know that I never need this it's only small portions of time where I need to rearrange items on the Y-axis. This may be what you want, or what you don't want, but I would submit that most people would never need this kind of functionality.
If you were able to drag tracks up and down in the stacking order (Y-axis), you may be able to achieve the layering effect you want at a certain point in time in your sequence, but you would also change the stacking order for the entire duration of the sequence. However, with Premiere, you only necessarily have to seperate footage items by time (X-axis)-if you can do everything on one track, so be it.
In After Effects, you HAVE to seperate footage items by both time (X-axis) and stacking order (Y-axis)-that's simply how it works. Perhaps it's a semantic difference, but it's an important one: in Adobe software, a "layer" contains one and only one footage item or graphical element, whereas a "track" can contain one or more footage items or graphical elements.

I assume you're talking about software like After Effects or Photoshop, which contain "layers" and not "tracks" in the way that Premiere Pro, and any other editor for that matter, have them. Moving tracks or layers is standard practice in so much other software.
