There it is! See, I knew it couldn't be that hard/would be a rookie mistake. Thanks so much everyone. I wouldn't have figured out without you. I was using the locked track to make sure the audio wasn't cut with my video clips. There's probably an easier way to do that, but for now I'm golden. Thanks Dev... eh... yeah.

Hey Nat, Maybe I'm not clear enough, so I'll try again. I know that is what I should be able to do; I managed to do so yesterday. So I know that's how it works and how it SHOULD work for me as well (as it dit yesterday), but I can't do it anymore. It seems like my settings changed in such a way that every clip I drag, whether it's from the folder or already in the sequence, just replaces/overwrites/overlays the original clips, instead of splitting the clips and placing the dragged clip in between the clips instead of just replacing the clip. So again: What I want: - dragging a clip which results in INSERTING the clip in the sequence, while moving the clips What I get now: - dragging a clip (from sequence or clip bin, doesn't matter) which results in OVERWRITING the original clip in the sequence I made a few screenshots, though I doubt I can get my problem any clearer. The circled clip is an example. Above you see the clip, if I just drag it to the spot I want it to be, it overwrites/overlays/overlaps the clip that was originally there instead of splitting the sequence or clips. As you can see, the clips that follow the clip that I just moved, didn't move at all. With splitting, I would expect the clips to move as much as my dragged clip is long. So yeah, I know what you described is what is supposed to happen, but somehow my settings have changed (that's the only logical conclusion anyway, perhaps with a hotkey I unintendedly pressed or something) in such a way that clips no longer just insert, but overwrite/overlap/overlay. I can't make it any clearer than this I'm afraid; I was hoping this was the simplest answer ever, but if even you guys have no clue I'm starting to think of a bug. Still can't imagine that this has a hard solution. Thanks for your efforts up till now!

Hey Nat, Thanks for your reply. As you stated, inserting is what I'm trying to do in the same way I did yesterday; simply by dragging the files to the point where I want it to be (in most cases; between two clips). Today, the exact same action results in not just inserting, but overlaying the clips that I intended to split. So my guess is that I somehow changed the main video track (I've only got 1 track as far as I can see) to an overlay track? Could that be the problem and if so, how do I reverse it? So as you said: I should be able to grab and drag a clip and VP will split and insert it, thereby moving the other clips instead of overwriting them. Currently, I can't manage to just insert a clip, just overwrite it. Small edit: the audio tracks aren't important in this matter; I realise that inserting a clip also cuts the audio, but I can work around that issue. I can't work around overwriting (and deleting) the video track.

Thanks for your reply. The problem isn't that i'm not able to insert the clip in the sequence, it's about moving a clip on the sequence whatsoever. When I want to drag a clip that's already on the sequence to another spot in the sequence, I'd expect the clip to slide in between the clips (at the point of the cursor). This worked fine yesterday. However, now the settings somehow changed I guess in such a way that dragging a clip to the cursor or anywhere else just overlaps the clip I dragged óver the previous clip. So instead of sliding in (inserting), it just overlays the clip (which I'd expect to automatically slide over to the end of the dragged clip). So the problem isn't getting a clip in my sequence, it's moving clips without overlapping them with other clips.

Hey guys, This problem probably has a very simple solution, but I'm new to Videopad and can't find my answer online. Yesterday I started editing a video. After closing Videopad and restarting it today, somehow my settings have been changed. Now I can't drag a videoclip to a certain point in the sequence without just pasting the clip over the original clip. I can't insert it anymore, it just overlaps the video (also deletes the part of the clip or the clips it overlapped). How can I change this? Thanks in advance.
