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.

FFECT
By default, a magnet effect allows the selected element(s) to be moved to a
transition or to the nowline. However, you can deactivate this magnet effect by
pressing CTRL on the keyboard while moving the elements.
