moving a corrupted file..more a niggle than an issue

[garjobo123]

This is just a niggle..thought i'd mention as has just come up a few times, once installed vs2018.

Just a question why, no solution really required as not found an issue re editing and result.

As per the norm, i bring in my clips ...i place a few on the timeline, a copy/crop...like ive done a thousand times...but then..i decided to grab a clip and move it anywhere..nearer the begining of my video or just 1 space closer..move them around basically..but..what happens..a lot ( not always..surprsingly..clips all treated the same )..but a message pops up saying ' cannot move corrupted clip'. Now..ive done nothing, not moved the source etc

It DOES let me move it the 2nd time though...1st time - message appears - it auto jumps back to where it sat...i click and drag again and then no worries..lets me place it... odd? no lasting effects .

Indeed, I've had this happen to me a lot. As you say, repeat and the move happens as it should.
Others in the forum have speculated that a background item VS is doing isn't finished when you do something - like move a clip - and a funny result occurs; when you did it next, that background is done no longer applicable. And this looks like that.

Speeding up VS has been a sore point for many over a number of years and despite regular pleading from the experienced users, Corel just won't/can't take advantage of techniques like multi-threading, many-core cpu's on chip etc available in the hardware of modern PC's to demonstrably and reliably speed things up. I suspect it's won't: other vendors like Mozilla/Firefox have used the hardware available and speeded their software program up 2x, so why Corel/VS cannot be similarly improved is generally beyond our comprehension. BUT in the vernacular, it is what it is. There are hardware acceleration options available (settings/preferences/performance) but these seem to be flaky at best - work for some, not others, generally inconsistent and the circumstances always seem very variable. Reliable fast measurable performance just does not seem to rate with the Corel marketeers: they would rather have more bells and whistles on the family car than a good turbo engine under the hood. And you can see the impact of the steady increase in feature set in the required hardware specs published in successive versions of Video Studio.

a message pops up saying ' cannot move corrupted clip'.

This is probably related to an old problem - see https://forum.corel.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=63610
