Yes I did David, with my Laptop, and havent quite figured that one out yet,
but I solved

You mentioned this happened when dragging the files to the Storyboard (did
you mean Timeline -
because if so, that's how I solved the problem - by going to the Storyboard
and dragging
the files down.

Lets know if this works.
