Clips dropping to bottom tracks?

[jenna bush]

OHello! I’m working in Premiere CC17. I’m

having a problem where every time I select a clip in the timeline (video or audio) to drag it side to side it instead drops down a layer.  I’ve tried resetting my preferences, reinstalling premiere, loading up different projects from different external hard drives and it’s always the same.  Is this a bug or an accidental setting? I am working on a Mac. I do not have this issue with my PC or other versions of Premiere. However I‘m in the middle of a massive project and cannot switch versions.

Help!?

Thanks!

FAQ: How do I capture and post a screen shot or video?

I was able to turn off "snap" and that solved it.  However, I always have "snap" enabled and this never happens.  Any ideas how the snap feature developed this bug and how to fix it?

You need to source patch the tracks. See the post by Ann Bens here:

Video in timeline won't play video, only audio. Please help.

Wild guess: Check your audio hardware in the preferences. Make sure the input is set to none.
