Move whole project to get 5 secs black at beginning??

Chienworks suggested I put an area of black at the beginning of my project so I could record it to tape. When I try to move it to the right one section slides into another where splits and FX were made. How can I move the whole thing back approx. 5 secs. to put in the black at the start???? I have tried 'slecting all' and holding down the shift or ctrl key but it doesn't seem to work. In fact holding down the ctrl key and moving (everything) to the right ends up with 'Paste Option',
'One or more events you have chosen to paste contains generated media. What do you want to do. *Create a new copy of the source material * Create a reference to the original meda.' Neither of these options are what I want to do!
I even tried fitting in the black 5 seconds hoping everything would move up. That didn't work either.

The best thing to do is use the insert function. Move the cursor to the beginning of the project, select Insert / Time, and change the amount to 0:00:05;00. The format of the time is a little funky; make sure you have the frame count after the h:mm:ss or it sometimes gets confused. For extra time at the end, insert generated text media with the text erased.
