Avid Media Composer
Hi guys
so here is a question. In AMC when working on the time line a filler is automatically placed in the places where there are no clips. When I try to move a clip a filler appers and stops me from moving the clip back a few frames. Any idea how to stop the auto filler from filling, if you get my drift. The manual tells me how to put it on but not how to turn it off.
Regards

All “empty” areas of timeline in Avid are Filler. That behavior can’t be turned off. If you have sync locks on everything ripples.
What exactly are you trying to do but can’t? You most certainly can move clips around the timeline in segment mode (red or yellow arrow).

I am lassoing a group of vid clips to move along the timeline to audio sync, but every time I get to the clips to pull them along a filler jumps in and stops me from moving the series of clips. I know its something simple that I am doing wrong but I am a newbie with AMV from Liquid, and boy have I struggled.

Filler doesnt jump in. Its always there. All the empty space in the timeline is filler. Think of any gap as a black clip. If you want to move everything together, you need to select the black space too. If you do that, everything moves.
