Since, I am doing more serious work now, I am going through the user manual page by page and trying all the features.

I have started a vernal pool documentary and I have video, sound, music in place.

Unfortunately, I just caught the frogs in a breeding frenzy the last two days and actual up close footage of a spring peeper in action. I need to insert this new footage before the work I have already done.

I group all the objects that are in place and I can move them in sync with the mouse. But when I place objects in front of the work in place and expand their times, the grouped objects don't move over in sync. So when I change the duration of a newly added photo from 3 to 5 seconds, everything in that track moves over 2 seconds, but the media on the bottom tracks don't move even if grouped. I find it odd and now I have reposition everything.

Any solutions here.

Summary:

Grouped object move in syn when dragged by the hand, but don't move in sync when media placed in front of the grouped objects is expanded.

I have not gotten through the whole user guide yet but there must be way to move everything over in sync or to compensate by moving a whole track over by 2 seconds etc. or the same amount the other track got moved.

Just experimenting now:
I can drag them all to the right before inserting but if I don't inserting also un-syncs my media even if grouped.

Thanks
