    How do I add the handle bars back to the end of my layers? They disappeared a while ago and I need to have them back because they are so helpful, anyone know where they’ve gone and how I can retrieve them?
    Cheers

    With the timeline indicator at the point you want the layer to be trimmed to, press option left or right bracket. You’ll get your handle back.

    Im afraid it only shifts the beginnign or end of the layer to where the timeline indicator is and does not bring back the handles..
    CHeers anyway and if you can help me further I am very grateful,

    You only have handles when you’ve performed a trim on a layer. The handle will now be to the left or right of the beginning or end of the layer – depending on which end of the layer you trimmed.
