Dear all,
I have a very strange problem: I am creating a project where I will have 25 videos on the screen at the same time. So the screen will be devided into many tiny videos. I have currently 20 tracks. When I import another video suddenly the size and therefore the position of all other videos shift. How can I fix this? It is extremely anoying as I sepnt a lot of time calculating the exact position of each video.
Greetings from Luzern!
Hi and welcome to the forum
. . . . I have currently 20 tracks. When I import another video suddenly the size and therefore the position of all other videos shift. . . . .
Is the imported video of a different resolution to the others and do you get this message?
If so then which option did you click?

Thank you for your quick reply. I tried importing the same video as mp4 and as WMV but the same problem persisted. I know that message but it doesn't pop up in this case.
Hi Felix.
What method are you using to position and size the other tracks?
Ray.
Now that I think of it, I think I once chose "don't show this message again" and then clicked "adjust". That's probably the root of the issue. How can I change that?

Hi Ray,
I go to size and position and enter specific numbers.
Hi Felix.
So when you import a new track I assume it is imported to a new track lower down in the timeline editor.
You are using the timeline view, yes?
Ray.
I usually drag it to the position I want directly.
Hi Felix.
That's probably where it is going wrong. Try dragging the clip to a new tack on the timeline. If it goes on the same track as another clip it will do as you are experiencing. You may need to add additional tracks to your project.
You didn't mention whether you were using the timeline view or not. That would have shown you straight away what the problem was.
Ray.
Thank you for your help! Unfortunately the problem is still there when I put the video in a completely unused timeline.

Go to Program Settings>System tab and click on the button highlighted in my screenshot below. (It's greyed out on my system because I have never changed any of the defaults for on-w-screen messages.)

IT WORKED!!! :-D I'm so relieved! Thank you so much everybody! (This way I could click "do not adjust")
Oops! Missed the message above the one I read.
Would have loved a screenshot of how you have the editor set up.
Glad it's sorted.
