How do I unassociate/unlink different video layers?

[mofzpo]

How do I unassociate/unlink different video layers? It's quite annoying, different video layers are just randomly linking themselves, so whenever I try to cut, move along the timeline or delete one of them, the one above (or sometimes all videos above) will behave accordingly.

You have to lock the layer that outht to stay in place. Then you can move the other layer freely. You can lock a layer by expanding the layer view on the bottom left (three bars) and then click the lock symbol on the layer you want to lock.

Thanks a lot - it was right there in front of me the whole time and I didn't notice the lock icon.

Hi @mofzpo 

Thanks for writing. Sapatus provided the solution to work around associated clips. We are considering making this more flexible in the future. Feel free to your vote and suggestions to our UserVoice page here

Totally agree with how annoying the linking feature is! So glad I could find a solution here.
