<h3><a name="Drag_And_Drop_Editing"> </a><a name="_Drag_And_Drop_Editing_"> </a> <a class="twikiLink" href="DragAndDropEditing">Drag And Drop Editing</a> </h3>
Drag and Drop Editing is a quick and simple way of working in Cinelerra (<em>using only your mouse!</em>) The basic idea is to create a bunch of clips, then drag them in order into the <a class="twikiLink" href="Timeline">timeline</a> building a prototype film that you can watch on the compositor. If after watching it, you wish to re-arrange your clips, set effects, add transition or insert/delete material, just drag and drop them on the timeline.
<p />
<ul>
<li> Load some files using <a class="twikiLink" href="FileMenu">File Menu</a>-&gt;<a class="twikiLink" href="LoadingFile">Load</a>. 
</li>
<li> Set the <a class="twikiLink" href="InsertionStrategy">InsertionStrategy</a> to <code><b>"Create new resources".</b></code> (<strong><em>This loads the files into the <a class="twikiLink" href="ResourcesManager">Resources manager</a>-&gt; <a class="twikiLink" href="AssetManager">AssetManager</a> Window.</em></strong>)
</li>
<li> Create some audio and video tracks on the timeline using the <a class="twikiLink" href="VideoMenu">video</a> and <a class="twikiLink" href="AudioMenu">audio</a> menus. 
</li>
<li> Open the <a class="twikiLink" href="AssetManager">Media</a> folder in the <a class="twikiLink" href="ResourcesManager">resources manager</a> window. 
</li>
<li> Drag a media file from the <a class="twikiLink" href="AssetManager">AssetManager</a> window to the <a class="twikiLink" href="Timeline">timeline</a>. ( <img src="../../../pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/warning.gif" border="0" alt="ALERT!" width="16" height="16" /> <em>Make sure the necessary tracks are <a class="twikiAnchorLink" href="PatchBay#ArmTrack">armed </a></em> )
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<ul>
<li> <img src="../../../pub/Cinelerra/CinelerraImages/drag_to_program.png" alt="drag_to_program.png" />
</li>
<li> <img src="../../../pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/arrowright.gif" border="0" alt="MOVED TO..." width="16" height="16" /> If the media has <code><b>video</b></code>, drag it onto a video track.
</li>
<li> <img src="../../../pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/arrowright.gif" border="0" alt="MOVED TO..." width="16" height="16" /> If the media is pure <code><b>audio</b></code>, drag it onto an audio track. 
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<strong>Cinelerra</strong> fills out the audio and video tracks below the dragging cursor with data from the file. This affects what tracks you should create initially and which track to drag the media onto. 
<ul>
<li> <img src="../../../pub/Cinelerra/CinelerraImages/program_busy.png" alt="program_busy.png" />
<ul>
<li> If the media has one video track and two audio tracks, you'll need one video track and two audio tracks on the timeline and the media should be dragged over the first video track. 
</li>
<li> If the media has audio only you'll need one audio track on the timeline for every audio track in the media and the media should be dragged over the first audio track.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<img src="../../../pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/tip.gif" border="0" alt="TIP" width="16" height="16" />In addition to dragging media files, if you create clips and open the <a class="twikiLink" href="ClipManager">ClipManager</a> you can drag them into the timeline.<br>
<img src="../../../pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/warning.gif" border="0" alt="ALERT!" width="16" height="16" />When dragging, the media snaps to the start of track if the track is empty. If there are edits on the track, the media snaps to the nearest edit boundary.
<p />
<h4><a name="Drag_and_Drop_on_the_Timeline"> </a> Drag and Drop on the Timeline </h4>
Once you placed several clips on the timeline, you can use drag and drop to re-arrange their position on the timeline. Dragging edits around the timeline allows you to sort music playlists, re-arrange movie scenes and work many other editing concepts. 
<p />
<code><b>Arranging a movie scene with Drag &amp; Drop :</b></code>
<p />
<img src="../../../pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/arrowright.gif" border="0" alt="MOVED TO..." width="16" height="16" /> Select the <img src="../../../pub/Cinelerra/CinelerraImages/button_arrow.png" alt="button_arrow.png" /> <strong>arrow</strong> toggle to enable Drag&amp;Drop functionality
<ul>
<li> Select a track with various scenes.<br> <img src="../../../pub/Cinelerra/CinelerraImages/drop_before.png" alt="drop_before.png" />  <br> <strong><em>Original track with three scenes.</em></strong>
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<ul>
<li> Go to scene <font color="#ff0000">#3</font>, click and drag it to the middle.<br> <img src="../../../pub/Cinelerra/CinelerraImages/drag_track.png" alt="drag_track.png" />
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<ul>
<li> When you drop scene <code><b><font color="#ff0000"> #3</font> .....</b></code> <br> <img src="../../../pub/Cinelerra/CinelerraImages/drop_concept.png" alt="drop_concept.png" /> <br> ..........  scene <code><b><font color="#ff0000"> #2 </font></b></code> shifts <img src="../../../pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/arrowright.gif" border="0" alt="MOVED TO..." width="16" height="16" /> to the right!.
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<ul>
<li> <img src="../../../pub/Cinelerra/CinelerraImages/drop_after.png" alt="drop_after.png" /><br>  <strong><em>This is how the finished sequence looks.</em></strong>
</li>
</ul>
<p />
If more than one track is armed, Cinelerra will drag any edits which start on the same position as the edit the cursor is currently over. 
<p />
<img src="../../../pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/tip.gif" border="0" alt="TIP" width="16" height="16" />During a dragging operation the edit snaps to the nearest boundary.

<h3><a name="Adding_effects_and_transitions"> </a> Adding effects and transitions </h3>
In <strong>Cinelerra</strong> adding <a class="twikiLink" href="AudioEffect">audio</a> or <a class="twikiLink" href="VideoEffect">video</a> effects or setting <a class="twikiLink" href="AudioTransition">audio</a> or <a class="twikiLink" href="VideoTransition">video</a> transitions, it is just as easy. Go to the <a class="twikiLink" href="ResourcesManager">ResourcesManager</a> window and select the appropiate folder, then drag and drop effects or transitions wherever you want them on the the timeline. For tutorials or more information about transitions and effects , click on the links above.
