I have a number of elements on a number of different tracks.
Now I want to add some space between two videos on track 1 to add any additional element.
All elements on all tracks shall also move synchonized while moving this one video.
How do I do this?
If it is a complex project with many tracks it is tricky to mark them manually.
Isn't there something where you can mark a range and just click 'add free space to this range'?
Thank you!

Try this: Take any clip in the library and place it in the timeline where you want some space and choose Insert and move all clips. With the same clip highlighted choose Remove and leave gap.

For completeness, building on Tomasc's suggestion, you could use a colour board, insert and move all, extend the duration of the colourboard to produce the gap required, trim and move all, delete and leave gap.
Should give you the gap you need.

Thanks to both of you!

Actually this is what I tried, but I realized not all tracks where moved correctly.
Usually the track where I entered the new element shifted correctly.
The other tracks also moved, but not to the correct position. Some picture-in-picture elements suddently where at a wrong position.

Was it a one-time glitch??
Will try again......
