Anyone know how to drag small clips. I trimmed my clip to a few seconds and it's too small to trigger the cursor to move it across the timeline. It only let's me lengthen or shorten now. Is there any workaround?

[@garvitbhardwaj5478]

Samee here did you find any solution

[@user-lf2yl8iv4s]

So how I do it is I make the clip big move it to your desired place then make it small again

[@derisdek5309]

this helped me tremendously, thank you man

[@Claytron830000000000]

so when you cut/split a layer you are forced to make a new layer? if so that is pretty weird

So nice to know now when you're used to SVP :)

[@vincentdragusseau]

It doesn't explain how to cut a part inside the same layer... exemple : my footage is 10 secs. I want to cut at 3 sec, erase the part from 3 sec to 6 sec and see again the footage from 6 to 10 sec. How precisely ?
