Eh?

Wahh! About 20 years ago I had the exact same reaction. Thanks for reminding me.

Anyhoo…. You’ve activated the Expand Track option. The A and B is a way to allow us to edit each sequential Event on its own bit of Timeline. Do I use it? Nope.

That’s the Expanded Edit Mode. Press the Escape (Esc) key to exit it.

Thanks for clearing this up guys.

Is the idea with Expanded Edit mode, that you chop up your clips on the ‘B’ video track so you can add them to your ‘A’ video track?
Sounds kinda useful actually………….

Expanded edit mode:
Double click at the edit point to see the timeline in a detailed “A-B
Roll” view. The adjacent frames of the events at the edit point can be
clearly viewed above the tracks for reference, and unused media in the
events can be seen in the track area. The edit point/event edge is
highlighted in red, and can be trimmed with the mouse or numeric
keypad. Setting a Loop Region around the edit point enables you to
dynamically add or remove frames from either side of the edit point
while the media is playing, creating a highly precise, interactive
editing experience………….Sony
