PLEASE HELP. Cannot insert audio clip

[Jeremy Garchow]

You aren’t using the primary storyline (the empty box in the middle).

Put the playhead where you want to insert, go to the clip you want to insert, and hit ‘w’.

Or put those clips in a secondary storyline by deleting them all, as long as they don’t overlap, and hit command-g, then select the shelf (which is the thicker line above the secondary) place your playhead where you want, and hit ‘w’.

Also, I would suggest taking some training. Ripple training is good place to start go over some FCPX timeline basics.

Hi Jeremy, Thank you for your help.

I did try the ‘w’ shortcut; also tried Q and E but none worked. I think I stupidly forgot to select my secondary storyline before trying the above-mentioned shortcuts. Now it works!
