When you perform a move action in Insert mode, the A/V material at the position
to which you move the selected elements is preserved and shifted to the right.
When you perform a move action in Overwrite mode, the A/V material at the
position to which you move the selected elements is overwritten.

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.
Before explaining how a move is performed, section 4.7.2 ‘Possible Element
Selections and Move Types’, on page 91 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.
