A very usual complaint from newcomers is that they can't find an easy way to use their old Drag & Drop workflow in MC.

The answer I usually give is, "Try and leave your old habits behind you and start learning the MC way - as soon as possible!"

The use of keyboard shortcuts combined with the possibility of mapping your own keyboard to suit your workflow gives you the possibility ofmaking  MC a very quick, efficient and accurate NLE.

I used Avid Liquid previously and I used the Drag & Drop method, as it seemed very convenient.
Avid Liquid has also the possibility of mapping the keyboard and using keyboard shortcuts..... but, because of the convenience of Drag & Drop editing, many people (myself included) prefer/preferred  to use it instead.
With MC the opposite is true. Drag & Drop is not the easiest way!
