CinelerraGG dated 2011) states the following:
   "In addition to dragging media files, if you create clips and open the
*clip* folder you can drag clips on the timeline"
so I am not sure what is meant by the above.  Any how when I run HV 7.2, it
still works although does not update the thumbnail draw on the timeline,
but plays correctly in the compositor.  Whatever it was doing and however
it was changed, GG would not have deleted that.  The modes that show when
using the middle mouse button on a track along with groups is all new code
by GG and is not related.

I "think" this is referring to "Simple Animation (Festival)" which is
section 17.5 of the current manual but calling it a movie is a little
strange.  I have not tested this in some time so it could certainly use a
review.
