    i ran into this with CS5. nearly pulled my hair out coz i couldn't drag it to the timeline. here's what i did...

    if you already have the sequence in your project bin create a new sequence (file > new sequence). you should be able to drag it in that new sequence now, at least that's what i did.

    When one Imports either a Project, or a Sequence, their Timeline will often be in a Bin. One needs to twril open that Bin, and then Dbl-click on the Sequence inside, to Open that Timeline.

    Good luck,

    I just ran into the same thing. You have to display in list

    view. Then it works normally.

    Oh well... some people don't take the time to read or search (somewhat understandable when they are in a "panic" because something isn't working) and come here with only partial information... and then don't like it that the people answering can't read their minds or see their computer and work flow through the Internet, and complain when they are pointed to other information or asked to provide a better example of what is going wrong

    As JC said, you can't please...

    Eddie is one of the more positive helpful people on these forums.

    It just goes to show you that, you can't please all of the people all of the time.

    These are value judgments and cannot be used in a court of law. :)

    The problem almost always is a lack of detail. The OP doesn't explain what he meant by "like i did in pro 7". We have no way of knowing whether he has locked tracks or what the state of his panel layout is.

    These problems are very often caused by a lack of understanding of the product and a sure fire way of learning a product is to watch others use it, hence the links to video tutorials.

    I enjoy helping people when I can. I am sorry that you have a problem with that. Unfortunately I cannot help you. I am sorry for that failure. I can only encourage you to do the best you can.

    I wish you happy editing. Happy editor

    Cheers
    Eddie

    >Unless I misunderstand the poster's question (I'm Human, so sue me ) the links I provide have either a direct answer or provide leads to where the answer lies.

    The poster can't drag a clip from the project window to the timeline and he obviously knows how to do it because of experience in a prior verson of Premiere.

    How does a Wiki Faq or tutorial apply here?

    Between your incessant Wiki responses and another poster's curt insistence on providing full computer specs for just about every issue, it's no wonder people never come back to follow up on threads they start.

    I agree with that also. I have often clicked on the link to see what's behind the door and have found some good useful information there. And it usually does apply to the op's problem.
    Eddie, keep up the good work.

    One way to determine who is helpful is to count the number of "thank you" posts they get. Using that criterion I believe Eddie is one of those up at the top.
