A Video Track Problem

[TheaBBadd]

How does one position a clip along the timeline where it needs to be? I'm either doing something wrong or there is a bug in the software

dragging a video clip(any format) from the library to the video track results in the clip being placed at the beginning. I cannot be drag/re-position it along the timeline. Also, the clip can be shortened using the handles on either end, but cannot be expanded back to its original size in the timeline. for now, I'm using the trim markers to do so. I contacted tech support & received a head-scratching out-of-context reply. Either they're not understanding me or don't care.

This is a video track issue only, overlay tracks work fine.

I'm sure that is how it is supposed to work, if you want to position it somewhere with blank in front of it, use the overlay track, or put a blank piece of video in the start of the video track. Don't have a copy on this machine to test and am working on a big project on my editing pc.

Just to back up Graham -- yes, that is definitely the way it is designed: no gaps possible in the main track. But yes, they are possible in overlay tracks.
