Hi
?BUG
Loaded to clips (MPEG2) to the media list ....OK
Placed the first clip on the sequence line (Timeline mode) by dragging and dropping......OK
Moved cursor to the centre of the clip by dragging it along the sequence.....OK
Split the clip at the cursor point......OK
Checked that the right hand clip could be dragged to the right along with its sound track....OK
Checked gap closed for both with the "Close gap" prompt provided.......OK
Clicked the second clip in the media window and selected to add it "at the cursor line" which was still at the split position.
Clip inserted but sequence lost the right hand part of the clip I had split.
Clicking into storyboard mode showed that only two clips were now on the sequence line instead of the the two half clips separated by the inserted clip. (ie three clips)
This also happened (ie RH portion of the split clip disappearing) when inserting at a split point in a sequence with several clips.
(Later)
Procedure however seemed to work correctly if done whilst in storyboard mode and looked OK when switched back into timeline mode.
(Later still)
Looking at the help files relating to this procedure.........
"Place on Sequence at Cursor
Clip(s) are placed on video or audio track 1, at the position of the playback cursor (the vertical red line). Any clips already on those tracks at that position are truncated or deleted. "
What is the rationale for this? If you insert a clip it shouldn't truncate or delete part of the sequence line clip. It should simply split the clip and insert itself in a similar way to film. I assume that one now has to use the extra video tracks for the new clip and then split and separate the sequence line to create an "insert" when all the tracks are previewed. As video tracks tend to get hidden it it makes seeing what you have on the timeline somewhat difficult.
