When I click on the clip the down arrow does reappear, but it does not allow me to select another sequence with different begin and end points. If I select a begin piont which is later than the end of the initial sequence the red begin button reamins greyed out and inactive. The only thing it will let me do is adjust the beginning and ending points of the initial sequence. Somehow it seems that initial sequence needs to be "deselected" so that other sequences can be created, but I see no way to do that. Update: Okay, I got it. One needs tto move the end point first, and then the begin point, so that the begin point is being selected at a time earlier than the end, even though you're starting a new sequence. Selecting the end before the beginning is not very intuitive, but it makes sense from a computed calculating standpoint.

I put a clip in the clip in the "video files" area and select it, which places it in the "clip preview" window. I select a portion of it by clicking the "begin" and "end" positions, then click the "down" botton to place it in the timeline. So far, so good. Now I want to select a different portion of the same clip to add to the timeline, but I cannot select a different beginning or ending position. The impression is that I can only select one portion of a video file, which makes no sense. How, having selected one portion of a video for my timeline, do I then proceed to select a different portion and add it to the timeline as well?
