Dragging Clips - what's going on?
When I try to drag a clip from one location to another within a track, the result is very unpredictable. Once I have re-positioned the clip I find that other clips in the track have changed, some times truncated sometimes extended. Here is an actual example:
1) I have some audio from bar 7:00:00 to 24:00:00 it is a single clip - not assembled from a bunch of takes - bounced to a single clip to make sure
2) I split the audio clip in two at 20:00:00. I now have two clips A and B: A runs from bar 7 to bar 20, B runs from bar 20 to 24:00:00
3) If I drag clip B from 20 to bar 21 all fine.
4) If instead I drag clip B from 20:00:00 to bar 2, clip A shortens so that it now ends at bar 12 rather than bar 20 - so that rather than being 14 bars long it is now 7 bars long, on play back there is silence beyond bar 12 - so it isn't just a screen thing.
5) if instead I drag clip A from 7:00:00 to bar 3, clip B extends out to bar 37 , so is now 18 bars long, and a new blank bar appears at 38 which is 21:00:040 (!) long.
Basically the long and short of this is that it does not seem possible to move a clip in a track without affecting the other clips in the track. I upgraded from 8.5 to Platinum when I bought a new laptop, and just went back to my old laptop just to reassure myself that you still are able to move clips around freely in 8.5 - which you are. It isn't just Audio, I get similar weirdness with MIDI clips.
This is really frustrating because moving clips around to try different arrangements was a key part of my songwriting workflow in 8.5 (and all the way back to 4.0 when I started with Sonar).
So what changed? And what do I do I need to be doing in my work flow to get this to work predictably?
