annoying issue

Check the toolbar track select tools. There a tool for “all tracks from the click location to the end of the timeline” in each direction. After selecting, you can just drag the whole works to open some space.

There is a tool in the toolbar for this. You have to click and hold the mouse on certain tools and other options will pop up.

You should read the section of the manual about the tools and the toolbar. They’re all very useful and the time it takes to learn them will save you a lot more time in the future.

Click on the clip you want to move, hold down the ‘alt’ key, drag the clip to its new position. You’ll see the cursor change shape (downwards bent arrow). Drop the clip in its new location and *presto* the other clips on timeline will move to accommodate. Works best with snapping on.

Very handy. Hope it helps you out.

Or you can hit the “T” key to cycle through all the available tools. The cursoe will change to reflect the current tool. One of them is a cursor with multiple arrows to the right, which selects all media to the end of the timeline.
