Hi all!

After adding several Pip tracks i continued editing the main video track by adding transitions between clips... Then suddenly the drag/drop of transitions stopped working (a forbidden signal appears).

I discovered that this issue appears because the time track view was too height then i scrolled it down to keep music tracks visible. When you drop the transition to the main video track (still visible) PD badly check the drop target on the Pip track that is scrolled "under" the main video track.

I suppose this is a bug?

Umberto,

To eliminate this problem you should click on the 'Fit time line' button as shown in the attached file.

After clicking you will be able to see all tracks without scrolling,

Dafydd,

Please add some pip tracks on a project, then scroll vertically the timeline view so that the effects track goes partially (or totally) hidden under the master video track. Then try to drag and drop a transition between two clips on the master video track. You may notice that when the mouse goes over the (hidden) effects track, a forbidden mouse icon will appear and you are not able to drop the transition where you want (even if the mouse is over the master video track).

Looks like the drop operations badly thinks that i want to drop over the effects track... even if it's out of scope.

If this is not a bug, sure it's misleading... it took me 15 mins to understand that the reason of the denial was the vertical scrolled view.

Umberto,

That is why there is a fit timeline button. It is to keep all tracks visible at all times when editing. See the screen shot in my previous post.

You might think of it as a bug, I think of it as 'I have to check that button so I can see the tracks.'
