Try highlighting your entire project using your mouse (left click holding and lasso the clips). Once they are all highlighted right click and "group objects". They should all then move at once.
ps don't forget to check the box in preferences>editing to "link all tracks...."
Thanks for the tip. It was definitely related to the "link all tracks..." in Preferences. Boy I was scratching my head on that one...
I got my first test DVD completed and I'm impressed with PD9. I did this manual slide show that took me an hour or so for the Wedding and put it at the front of the video. At the end of the video I did a much larger 200+ photo slide show, and used the Slideshow function (after checking out the instructional vide on line), and it took 10 minutes tops!
Editing the video stuff in the middle was about the same as PD8 but I used half a dozen PIP in various spots just for effect. I had never done a PIP before. It was very straightforward. Topping it all off I decided to process the whole DVD (except the pre-processed wedding slideshow) at one time. I know the claim that 64 bit processing would dramatically shorten the Rendering time but I felt it was typical hype for a new version. (I've been through the Pinnacle Studio 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, wars with lots of promises and few results, etc.)
I had PD9 freeze a few times

(I waited it out) and a couple times I had to shut it down via Windows as it it hung. (And yes I updated to the latest patch, and all my drivers are also current) I did push it with hundreds of photos, 40 or so video files, and a dozen tunes in this project. And I was usually moving things about the timeline, doing things quite quickly when it hung.
(I still manually save the project with various names as I increase the Project's complexity just in case of a crash. I also exit and re-start the program any time it hangs. Sometimes i reboot the Box as well. This may be just an old habit I don't need anymore, but it was a case of survival with Studio in days gone by... Old habits die hard.)
But overall PD9 delivered. My video portions were mostly HD quality from my Sony HDR-SR12 with a couple minutes of SD clips from Digital Cameras on Video capture mode. It rendered the whole 1 Hour and 6 minutes to HQ DVD with 5.1 Dolby Digital Sound (to folders) in 38 minutes! I went and had a quick shower after starting the rendering and came back and it was done. I was expecting 8=>10 hours not 38 Minutes => That's insane!
Now I wish I was a lot quicker at editing the video, and deciding on what tunes for background and where they all should go.
Thanks again for the tip pj3!
