Audio Track or Video Clip not Dragging Onto Timeline - Source Patch QUICK FIX | Premiere Pro

In Premiere Pro an audio track or video clip sometimes cannot be dragged onto timeline. It might happen because a "Source Patch" indicator of a video or audio trackline was clicked and turned off by mistake. To fix it you need click and highlight the furthest "V1" or "A1" "Source Patch" indicators, beyond the lock icons on the left from the timeline. Don't mistake it with "Track Targeting" indicators which look completely the same.

FIX:
- At the left from the timeline, beyond the lock icons, highlight "V1" and "A1" indicators by clicking on them.

Didn't even know this was what I was looking for. Now this makes complete sense. Thanks!

the most straightforward and effective tutorial i have ever seen on youtube, thank you, you absolute legend.

There is no "A1" box to be checked or unchecked and my audio files stopped being dragged in as well even though they were fine just 10 minutes ago. I know the video has audio as well. Any ideas on how to fix it?

?what if the A1 on the left isnt there to toggle it on? it was there at first but after dragging a picture onto the timeline the a1 on the left disappeared? im trying to put a video clip with audio after the picture i just dragged in but only the video is being dragged in and there is no A1 button to toggle on before i drag the file in
