Doug,
I tried what you tried and inserted different file types and came to the same conclusion. I can move hours past a .png with no sound but only 2 seconds past my recorded gaming clips. I know I could move much farther during the trial, but it is not a huge issue if it can’t be fixed. Just my preference to edit in the middle of the timeline.
However, I did find a way to move past the end of my gaming clips and then be able to edit in the middle. If I drag the clip to the right, then back to the beginning of the timeline, I can then move the cursor to the end of where the clip would be if I did not move it back. For example, if I moved a 30 minute clip to the right so it now ended at the 1 hour mark, then moved it back to the beginning so it ended at 30 minutes, I could move the cursor to the 1 hour mark. It only takes about 5 seconds so I don’t have a problem doing it. I consider this thread closed.
Thank you for all your help and insight!
