Unable to click and drag clips

Hi, first time poster, also new to MacBook.
I started using iMovie and all was well. However recently I am not able to click and drag clips into the project window...very odd... everything else appears to work...I can copy and paste which has other issues which can be avoided by dragging..
Any help would be appreciated.
Much thanks.

Drag 'n drop of clips can sometimes have a problem with timing delays in deactivating the Event window and activating the Project window for receipt of the dropped content. Try using the "Add Selection" or delay dropping the content until the Project window is fully activated. If this doesn't work, then you may have an installation, plist, or similar problem.

    Thank you so much for asking
    In the Project Panel a left click highlights the asset but ignores the drag.
    In the timeline, a left click highlights the panel and when I try to drag it gives a flicker but that's all.
    I can cut and paste in the timeline.
    A restart of CS5 has no effect. Restarting the computer solves the problem for a while.

  • I am unable to click and drag some songs to a playlist I just created. There is a red circle with a line diagonal through it when I attempt to drag it to the playlist?

    I am unable to add some songs to a playlist.  There is a red circle with a line diagnonally through it that appears when I click and drag to the new playlist.

    That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar or the Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

  • Can't right click and drag clips anymore?

    I recently started using version 3 and I can't get the right click and drag to work in multitrack view. I can't remember if it ever worked in this version, but it seems like these two things coincided. Am I missing something? Or could this be a different problem? I've checked and double checked, none of the clips are locked in time. All I wanna do is move files around!

    Out of the four possible cursors in MV, you need to use the first one (the Hybrid tool) if you want to right-click and drag.

  • Unable to click and drag photos to trash, folders

    Working on downloading 2000 photos from cruise. 6.06 quit unexpectedly and lost whole library. Have recovered those but has happened twice since. Also CAN NOT CLICK AND DRAG PHOTOS ANYMORE!

    Sounds like a corrupted library - how did you recover from the problem? Have you rebuilt the library? using iPhoto? using iPhoto Library Manager?

  • I am unable to click and drag songs in order to arrange them in a playlist.  The tutorial says to simply highlight and drag the song to arrange them.   Any suggestions?  My version of iTunes is the current version.

    It should do. Which Playlist are you trying to re-arrange? Is it one you have created or one of the iTunes fixed ones? (Although it is possible to re-arrange the Recently Added Playlist, I would not recommend it.)

  • All of a sudden, I am unable to click-and-drag files into folders?

    I have a 2012 Macbook Air 11". I was dragging files into folders and then all of a sudden I couldn't. All I can do is copy and paste...frustrating.
    I tried accessibility settings, enabling dragging but that didn't change anything. Any suggestions?

    Restart your Mac and try again.

  • PE 9;  is there a way to click and drag a clip to Organizer?

    Is there a way to click and drag a clip from the timeline or sceneline to the organizer to keep it intact and use l, or in another project?   Thanks.

    You mean a trimmed clip?
    No, you can't do that.
    However, you can use Share/Computer/AVI -- isolating the clip with the Work Area Bar if necessary -- to save any portion of your timeline as a new clip.

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 crash when I Click and Drag

    Hi All, I have a problem with Premiere CC 2014 that is driving me crazy!
    The issue is as follows:
    If I try to drag a clip, sequence, effect or transition anywhere within the premiere, it will crash - with "Sorry, a serious error has occurred" message. The program will crash, quit and the saved recovery project is usually healthy (luckily!). BUT, as soon as I've re-started the program, and reloaded the project - or any project for that matter - the problem persists. As soon as I click and drag, Premiere crashes!
    In order to 'reset' this, I have to restart my machine. Once I have done so, I can continue editing as normal for a while (not long, perhaps up to an hour, or so) but eventually, it WILL crash again. I've not been able to work out what I have to do in order to trigger this - it seems random. But once it's happened, only restarting my computer will resolve it - and then only temporarily.
    Here are all the facts:
    The crash ONLY happens when I drag something... This can include moving a clip on the timeline, dragging a clip form the source viewer or project window, dragging an effect or transition.
    The crash happens after I have clicked, as soon as I start to move my mouse.
    I CAN click and drag to extend in and out points on the timeline, and I can do 'insert' edit using the button on the source monitor. No crash here.
    The footage plays fine.
    I am trying this on a CLEAN OS X install, with only Adobe packages installed, to eliminate any potential of interference from other programs. There are no third party plugins or drivers installed. No user data installed either (preferences, photos, documents, etc) - as fresh as it comes!
    I am not running Time Machine in the BG
    My system is: Macbook Pro 2011, 16GB Ram, 1tb SSD, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. Intel Graphics card, so no option to turn on or off hardware acceleration. It is set to software only.
    I have tested this with projects and footage on an external drive, as well as internal, same issue.
    I noticed the issue had started on, or around 25-27th November 2014.
    Interestingly, I have noticed that once this crash has occurred in Premiere, a similar problem will occur in After Effects as soon as I drag a file or layer... doesn't matter what the layer is. The crash seems less elegant here, I don't get an error message, it just freezes and I have to 'force quit'. Again, the problem persists until the machine is restarted.
    I have been using my macbook and premiere pro cc 2014 on Mavericks for a long time, and had no problems - so I know it should work fine! The only things that changed were an update to Yosemite, I started using Time Machine to make regular backups, I installed a few new fonts and any CC updates that happened in the background... I can rule out most of these because of my fresh install, with no user data, fonts plugins or time machine to confuse matters... It must be an Adobe bug with Yosemite!
    Any ideas?
    Thanks so much in advance!!

    Please check this blog post. Updating from Time Machine can cause this issue: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later).

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
    Answers in a postcard :-)
