I keep running into this issue where if I add media that it automatically ends up in my timeline when I don't want it to I just need to know how to turn it off so I can work more efficiently. This is movie studio 16 by the way.
Top Menus - View\Window\Dashboard and select bottom option "Power Used Mode".
The problem is, is that it seems I am in power user mode but it still acts like I'm in easy mode ( or at least i am clicking on it ) is there something I else I can do because this leads to a lot of extra wasted time every time I add new media. Is there anything I can do to change the add media button directly?
I recall a setting somewhere. I'll try and find it as I don't have the problem. But please clarify how you are adding media.
I cannot find a setting so I must have imagined it.
My media always go into my Project Media custom bin (plus the All Media bin) that I currently have selected.
BUT playing around I find if the Storyboard Bin is selected media also appears on the timeline. Could this be your problem?
That might be it so how would I unselect that
Click on another of the Media Bins, such as "All Media" before going to the Explorer Window or adding media by other means.
Easy Editing Mode can be turned off in the Internal Preferences.
The Internal Preferences can be accessed by holding SHIFT while clicking Options/Preferences.
