I have an external drive that I want to use. I imported my clips to it anf then went into Edit. I can play them in the window but it won't let me pull them down into the time line or copy them there?
Your clips are in the external hard drive and you can play in the window but in Movie editor you can not do anything right?
Before you proceed are you sure your clips are in right format that your software support? if so then read below please.
