Insert: Moving clips within the time line sequece
I have one video track and 8 audio tracks. When I move a clip (1 video and 8 audio tracks) and use the INSERT option in the canvas, the audio tracks do not stay together . They get spread out “over time” adjacent to one another (all on the same 2 tracks).
I want the clip to move and stay identical to the way it was (1 video track and 8 audio tracks).
Please advise

Your question is not very clear… but be careful when you drag (there is a dividing line) One overwrites one inserts…. also you need to learn about patch panel (track lights)
BUT… it sounds like you’d REALLY beneift from a starter book with practice media

normaly when I move clips within the sequence:
I grab them from the time line and drop then in the “insert” in the canvas. The clip then lands back in the sequence wherever the scrubber is… follow me….
BUT when the clip I am moving has more than 2 audio tracks, the audio tracks get placed one right next to each other (linear) as opposed to being verticaly. How can I fix this?
cheers

This is not the way you moves clips in the timeline. You want to a swap edit. Grab the clip. Move it where you want it to go. Hold the Option key and then release the mouse.
All the best,
