Turning off the magnetic timeline?

Yes it keeps items in the primary storyline in sync. Anything outside that, no it is not in sync. No matter. There's a work around and im sure I can get used to this.

ah.. yes that could be useful. Thanks

I'm finding this as well. Are you hitting P to deselect the "magnetic" option. That helps me when I don't want everything to be so automated, and return to a more traditional AVID/ FCP 7 feel.

I do use other applications but for someone who doesn't have that option I believe that workaround is a simple and productive solution.

the timeline is the WORST experience ever... try editing a music video on it, it's the worst experience ever

Use the position tool.

Put the music track in the main story line and edit pictures on using connected clips

If you must use dissolves then simply create a secondary storyline
