Inserting more media in front of project

I have been working along time on a project and now I want to add some still pictures in the front of all that I have done. When I drag the video track forward to make room for new stuff, the audio stays still and messes up all my synching. How do I drag all as one so there is room up front for more and still keep my synching of text and audio?

The audio track should have stayed connected to the video track, as you sure you haven't unlinked it? Also, go to EDIT mode, and then you will be able to select all, as is.

Auto Ripple will push everything to the right from the clip you've selected, either the whole project or a track-at-a-time.

So many different ways it sometimes gets confusing. In addition to the above you can use 'select all' from edit and move everything to the right by dragging anything. Or you can use 'insert time' at the beguinning and use an amount of time equal to that which you wish to drop in.

Ctrl-A is a nice easy way to select all too.

Another option is to take a pair of scissors, cut the monitor's screen, and pull it apart about an inch or so to create the desired space on the timeline.

So many ways, so little time.

Getting back to the original question ...

I think he may have activated IGNORE EVENT GROUPING by accident.

This is one of the icons at the top of the screen. It has a little padlock that is opened (unlocked). The keystrokes to activate / deactivate this is ... Ctrl + Shift + U ... of course clicking the icon with the mouse works too.

Normally you want this de-activated.
