3 Do either of the following:
•
To move clips out of the primary storyline: Drag the clips from the primary storyline to their new
position as connected clips (above or below the primary storyline).
The subsequent clips in the primary storyline ripple left to close the gap left by the clips
you moved.
Drag the clip to its
new position as
a connected clip.
Subsequent clips
ripple left to close
the gap.

To move clips to the primary storyline: Drag the clips from their position as connected clips to an
edit point between two clips in the primary storyline.
The result is effectively an insert edit: the former connected clips are inserted in the primary
storyline and subsequent clips ripple right to make room for the new clips.
