I am making a video that contains slides, video clips, music, PIPs, and titles. I am using 12 tracks total. I want to insert some slides and cause all tracks to the right of the insertion point to shift the appropriate amount. I have searched and seen that some people suggest checking a "link all tracks" option under Edit-Preferences-Editing. However, Powerdirector 11 doesn't appear to have that option. If I just make the insertion I can then choose to overwrite or to move clips on the same track to the right, but there is no option to move ALL tracks to the right when I insert. Obviously I need to do this because all the sound and effects to the right are synched to all the slides and video clips to the right. How do I do this? Thank you.

Hi pcgpnw,

You should have these options available when doing general inserting/adding/removing of your media. Are they not showing in your PD11?

Yes, you are correct. This is working fine for me now. I was trying to open up a gap by selecting and then stretching a clip and one entity on another track wasn't moving because that entity began before the end of the clip I was stretching. Operator error. Thanks for setting me straight.
