Timeline insert and editing issues

PostSat Jul 28, 2018 6:25 pm

Hi guys, I'm very satisfied with the new beta 15 but there are a couple of aspects that I can not manage and I'm confident the pro users will be able to give me an answer:

1) When i change the speed of any clip placed in the timeline and subsequently I change its length the entire timeline is affected. (I.e. if I make it longer by slowing the speed it will overwrite/push the next clips). There is a flag/option that I can set to avoid that? On Premiere Pro the clip never overwrites the next one.

2) On Premiere Pro I can drag the clips on the timeline without overwrite the existing ones by using the Command/Ctrl keys I’m struggling because this doesn’t seems to work on DaVinci 15 Beta 7. Also the swap doesn’t seems to work, could be this caused by my custom key mapping? I don’t see any option to customize those actions.

Any thoughts is appreciated.

You could pull that clip out and put it on an adjacent video track, then change the clip's speed. Then the timeline will stay unaffected.

In normal Trim mode, I don't recall the timeline slipping and sliding if one clip's speed is changed.

Thanks Mark,

not the quickest option (I extensively use the speed ramping in my editings) even if I don't have a shortcut to move the clips across video tracks.

Do you have any suggestions about the insert feature? Looks like that the only way to do an insert (without overwrite) is to drag the clip on the main viewer instead of the timeline.
