  • I can’t get back out of my compound clip

    Posted by Mark Suszko on January 25, 2019 at 4:18 pm

    One of those “simple yet embarrassing” things that happens when you use an app without formal training –

    I have four tracks stacked on my timeline, I highlighted three of them and right-clicked to collapse them into one compound clip. All my cutting is revolving around cutting back and forth between these now two, synched tracks. I find a need at one point to get into the compound to make an adjustment in something, so I double-click the compound clip to open it up to it’s constituent tracks. i make my change, then…

    I can’t get back out to the timeline.

    How do I do that?

    There is a little white- ish < in the header of the time line just to the left of the compound clip name ….
