    Stan,

    I can't try it on version 15, but made it work on version 2019.    I started a project and put a video from an external camera on the timeline.  Then I went to Add Media > Webcam or WDM.  I unchecked the box for adding it to the timeline.  It recorded to Project Assets.  Then I grabbed it with the mouse and drug it to where I wanted in the existing video.  It split and moved everthing to the right to make space.

    I did this with the webcam on my laptop.  If you are trying to use an external camcorder it would be a little different.  You would record, move the SD card to the computer, add the media and insert it.

    I suspect version 15 is the same as this is not advertised as a new feature.

    Good luck!
