When you perform a move action in Insert mode:
• The A/V material where you move the selected elements to is preserved and
shifted to the right.
• The elements initially positioned on the right of the moved element are shifted
to the left to fill the gap of the moved elements.
When you perform a move action in Overwrite mode:
• The A/V material where you move the selected elements to is overwritten.
• The initial position of the elements is left empty.

Not all moves are possible. Whether a move is allowed or not depends on:
• which elements are selected for the move action
• where the selected elements are moved to.
Before explaining how a move is performed, section 4.7.2 ‘Possible Element
Selections and Move Types’, on page 106 describes which element selections and
which types of moves are possible.

transition or to the nowline. However, you can deactivate this magnet effect by
pressing CTRL on the keyboard while moving the elements.
