Unable to drag and drop video, images, sound into timeline, unable to add effects to media
Hi guys, been quite frustrated with my situation. I have many years working with non-linear editors and I downloaded Hitfilm to try it out. I started editing a simple video and initially I was able to add video clips to the timeline, cut, and edit them.
Then I wanted to add some images and I was unable to add them to the timeline. Trying to drag and drop the image resulted in nothing being dragged and therefore nothing being dropped. I was able to finally get them into the timeline by opening the media in the "trimmer" window and selecting "Insert Clip". Once the media was on the timeline, I was unable to move it around or lengthen or shorten it, however I was able to use the image to create a composite shot, utilize key frames, and re-size and create a zoom effect.
Now, all of the video media on the timeline is unmovable and I am unable to drag and drop ANY media at all into the timeline. I can select clips but all dragging is in vain, it just doesn't move. I can grab the edge, cut, and delete a video clip (but not an image file), but it cannot be moved. I've tried adding effects but they too do not drag nor drop onto any clips. Nothing seems to work.
Help! Thanks!
I am running on HP ENVY Intel i7, 2.70 GHz, 16 GB ram, Windows 10.

Might need more information. Do you have the exact model number of the CPU? Knowing the model of the machine would help, or, at least the year you bought it?
Do you know if the machine has a discrete GPU?

Try launching HitFilm as an administrator.

You know guys, I decided to try the simple "restart my computer" solution and now the program works as it should. Problem solved.
I don't know what caused this in the first place. My computer is less than a year old, HP Envy x360. Thanks!

I am having the same issue. I restarted my computer and tried running HitFilm as an admin. I can add media and audio but I can't drag any effects from the large list. I can add them if they are listed under the image/video but if I try to drag even the same effects from the effect list I can't. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 15

Try switching to Windows Explorer and attempt to drag and drop files around.
If that doesn't work, try hitting the escape key a few times. Then try again.

Could Sophie's issue be related to the known issue here?

Probably not cuz she's not crashing on import, but I ask.
