Hi,
1) click the time ruler not the timeline area
2) Nope, not that I know of.
3) Nope, just a different way of working. can’t keep vid and audio layed out together.
4) a) no layers are fixed, clips are dragged
4) b) no…users from Vegas have indicated this a lot.
5) this really goes along with 4b — PPro and most video NLE’s don’t have same track non destructive edits. when an object is removed, the other object does not retain it’s previous continuity. They data is not gone, but it would have to be retrimmed. You should checkerboard edit between tracks if this is important to you.
They do listen to feature requests though…so make some noise if it’s impotant to you….
Hope that helps…
