    Greyed out timeline buttons?

    Posted by Peter Vandall on February 28, 2020 at 3:49 am

    Hi all,

    I’m trying to learn Media Composer and have limited knowledge of how it works. Check out the attached photo of my timeline, source and record monitors…why are most of the buttons in the timeline greyed out?

    Like what? They all look the same level of grey. Can you press PLAY on the PROGRAM side and your timeline play? What aren’t you able to do?

    I figured it out. The Command Palette was still open, which from what I can tell disabled the functionality of those buttons in the timeline. I closed it and they work now. Thanks for taking the time to write back.

    All the best,
