  • Finally I can login again…so got any tips for dragging a folder out of another folder?

    Posted by Richard Garabedain on August 9, 2017 at 6:06 pm

    My project window is always so full of items that whenever i need to clean up i will often try to take one folder out of another…So that is where my dilemma begins. I try to drag the folder on to some open space but instead it gets dropped into another folder so i try again and yet into another folder it goes. How can i get some free space. there should be a way to keep some space open at all times so i can import or whatver

    Place your cursor over your Project window and hit ~. That’ll make that window go full screen which should give you plenty of real estate to swap things around.


    It is easier to destroy than to create.
    More fun, too.

    Anything you drag and drop above the project item list into the Project panel header (where the thumbnail and footage information are shown) will be put in the project’s root level.
