solved Adding sound tracks

[hossi]

Hello,

When I copy a sound-file into the audio track the video clips above are shifted to the right,

How can I prevent this?

Two ways...

Drag the clip to the desired location on the timeline  OR

First lock the video track - right-click to its left for that drop-down menu choice

Hi

Note also that if you select the sound clip from the audio files bin (top left) you have a choice of placements including the Start; End; the red cursor or an overlay track at the cursor position. The default placement is set under Options/Media

Existing timeline clips will be moved depending on the choice made. The overlay track shouldn't move any of the upper clips along. Direct dragging and dropping of the audio onto a lower (overlay) audio track also shouldn't disturb upper tracks.

Practice a bit with the options on a few clips to see what happens.
