How do you insert video only into a sequence in Premiere?

To insert video only into a sequence in Premiere Pro, the method involving dragging from the drag video only icon is the correct approach. This icon is specifically designed for adding video tracks without including any audio that may accompany the video file. This functionality is useful when you want to maintain control over the audio elements in your project, allowing you to manage audio separately or to eliminate unwanted sound.

Dragging from the video only icon streamlines the process, ensuring that only the visual components are placed into the sequence. This is particularly helpful when working with complex projects that require careful audio-visual synchronization, as it avoids the risk of unintentional audio integration.

Other methods, although they might seem viable, do not focus on this specific requirement. For example, simply dragging from a generic video icon would typically include both video and audio. Copying and pasting the video file does not provide the selective control needed for video-only insertion either, as the paste action would replicate the entire clip, audio included. Additionally, the import menu generally offers options for file types and settings but does not specifically cater to the need for inserting only video into a sequence.
