How do I link text and overlays to the corresponding video

I'm not sure what the term is called but I understand the new Ulead VideoStudio 11 has the capacity to link text and overlays to the corresponding video/picture. I'm getting sick of adjusting everything when I need to go back and insert another picture/video in my timeline. I've looked and looked but can't figure out how to do this.

Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

It's called 'ripple editing' and is covered in the Manual. Nor is it a new feature in VS11. It started at least in VS10 if you had that... The control icon, to enable or disable it, is found to the left of the main video track in the timeline: a little blue rectangle with lines going out to three smaller rectangles. Hover your mouse of it and it tells you what it is.

oh this is interesting... have similar problem. Even when 'rippling taps' are enabled, occassionally still have to readjust overlays, soundtracks again!

wonder if I am also doing something wrong!

I figured it out! When I add things to the video track it has to be taken from the library. I can't insert directly into the timeline or move things around once there. It says, "Ripple editing will not be applied in this action. Do you want to continue?"
