You can add shots or timelines to the Storyboard by dragging them from the Library. You can also drag shots or timelines directly from the file browser and drop them into the Storyboard. In this case, the shots are also placed into the Library (if they are not already there).
Tip: To add shots to the Storyboard where the insertion marker is positioned, enable Solo mode in the Timeline menu. If you do not do this, added shots are automatically appended to the end of the timeline. See Multi-Layer Timeline.
To add shots to the Storyboard:
- Select shots in the Library.
The order in which you click shots in the Library determines their order in the Storyboard.
Tip: If you select the wrong shots, click any empty grey area under the Storyboard. This releases the selected shots from the cursor. - Drag the shots to the Storyboard.
A yellow insertion marker appears on the Storyboard.

The shots are added to the end of the Storyboard if Solo mode is disabled or to the location of the insertion marker if Solo mode is enabled.
