If necessary, the width of a dragged clip is adjusted according to fit into the gap in which it is dropped to. In this case, the end of the clip is truncated.
To fit a clip into a gap without cutting it, keep the Shift key on your keyboard pressed while dropping the clip. All objects in all tracks right to the position of the insert marker are shifted to the right. The offset is according to the duration of the dropped clip.
This way it is also possible to divide a timeline clip by dropping a new clip in the middle of the existing clip. The right part is shifted to the right together with all other track objects to the right of the insert marker.
 

 

 
 
If you want to detach the link of a video clip to its audio file to edit or move them independently, click the Unlink Audio & Video entry in the context menu.
