Click Dragging Clips in Project

[Zaquria]

There is a behaviour regarding click copy Clips that I would like to see changed please.

Normally, if you select a Clip, click and drag it elsewhere, the Clip is then moved to the postition you have choose.  If you choose Shift and click, then copy is used instead, pretty standard stuff and follows the 'norm'.

However, If I select All Clips in the project, click and move the Clip, we then get a totally different outcome from the one descrbed from above.  Intead of moving all the clips, they are copied instead. This goes against what I would expect with keeping to a 'standard' approach.

The same behaviour when copying or moving Clips should ahered too to keep some sort of standard. So if I select all Cips in my project and drag them elsewhere, they should be moved and not copied, as is done when it is a single Clip. (Note this only happens when I select All the clips in the project, and not multiple Clips).

Using Shift+click and drag doesn't always work for me when trying to move clips. I don't know if that is a bug or not?

Edit: It seems if I use hold Shift+click to move Clips, I have to click on Clip on the very last Track to get all the Clips to move. Not very helpful if I have 100's of tracks in a project.

Cheers.

Another issue moving Clips, If there are Envelopes at the start of a Track, I cannot move Clips Back towards the start because the Envelope prevents this happening.

As you can see from the image below,  I cannot move all the clips closer to the start because the Envelopes on a track prevent this from happening.  To allow me to move the Clip, I have to Delete the envelopes completely. I tried to create a new Node and delete the one at the start, but this didn't work either and I still couldn't move all the Clips Back to a point I wanted.

Shift-click-drag maintains time position when dragging vertically; ctrl-cick-drag does copy.  Not sure if that affects your findings.

Still the same using ctrl-click unfortunately.

After select all

• move the Now marker to be beginning of the earliest clip on the timeline
• Select From Now
• Click-Drag clips as far left as 0.

Or select the blank measures on the timeline to remove, enable ripple edit all then delete
