Hint: To drag a file, select the file with your left mouse button. While holding down the left mouse button drag the file to where you want to drop it. Let go of the left mouse button to drop the file.

You can remove an effect by right-clicking the star located on the bottom left of a clip and selecting Remove Effects.
