Hi Bros ! Does anyone know is it possible now to move the video clip on the timeline or not? I have Sonar Platinum .. not the latest version. Until now, I can not do it and it's very annoying when working with video. If this is not possible then I have a question to the developers ... WHY? :-(

No it is not. There is no video editing in Sonar.

You can move video on the timeline with Windows native formats (avi and wmv), but not with MP4.

Hmm... I will try to explain the easier ... I have a video clip on the timeline already. Can I move it to another location on the timeline ? That he does not start from the beginning of the track... let's say from second bar for example...

I don't work with video but I believe in order to change the start time of a video in a project requires changing the VideoEngine paramater in Aud.ini to 0, the old DirectShow engine, see https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=Troubleshooting.10.html. Changing to the old DirectShow engine results in support for fewer video file types. The new Media Foundation engine supports more file types but is still waiting on Microsoft to support the other features like moving clips on the time line.

Scook ! You're cool again ! It works !!! Now I can move my clip on timeline ! It's very important to me because it's more easier to make film score now. Waiting for Microsoft... when they will add clip moving to new Media Foundation engine too :-)

Am I right in saying you CANNOT move MP4 regardless of setting?

You can't move any video format without this settings in Aud.ini

I still don't understand why this is an issue? We're not asking for full video editing... Just to start a video at the  2nd bar. It's such a crazy shortcoming. My #1 complaint about Sonar. Not that I'm gonna quit using it, but it's so annoying. Dealing with it right now...
