Is the add video button active on the time line?
(Does not have red line going trough it)

[Mark]

Okay I've found the "a" you were talking about - I right clicked it, went to clear all tracks, but it's still the same i.e. can't bring video clips into timeline.
Any other ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks

Put the mouse pointer in the area where one of those a or v are and right clik. It does not matter if they are active or not.
Look at the picture.

When I do the right click my options are:

Set Clip channel
Height
Add
Duplicate
Move
delete
Rename

That's not what you show?

Thanks

Oh dear - I'm feeling more and more dumb the more I work with it! I've looked and looked for the "little A" that you speak of, but can't find it anywhere??? Any other clues? Sorry guys, please don't give up on me!

Thanks

Sorry -I don't know what that means? I'm pretty new to Edius and comming from DV Storm 2 with it's ease of use, I'm struggling a lot to understand many things with Edius.

Thanks

As Anton said, you will see an 'A" next to the icon of a waveform and a "V"
next to the icon of a filmstrip. If you want to use the Video on that track
select the "V" do the same for the "A" if you want the audio to follow.

If for some reason you see this happen during editing, look for those 'clues'
to help you find your video and audio.

right click the little "a" on the left of timeline and then click clear all tracks, then all will be perfect

Did you map that V1 track by accident?

[Mark]

What are the clip properties?

Right click the clip, select Properties, select the Video Info tab... Provide the information from "Size" down.

Hi folks,

Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I am trying to add a clip to the timeline, but when I drag it from the bin window an X appears and doesn't let me place it. The only place it will go is on the V1 track, but then all I get is the audio. I'm sure I am just missing something, but what? Thanks for your help!

Cheers!
Mark
