    After applying a slo-mo effect on a short clip within my timeline, suddenly two very thin red lines appeared at the very top of the timeline and at the bottom through the scroll bar region. Both running horizontally through the entire timeline.

    When I go to export to Compressor, I get an error message that reads, “Selection contains no media”

    What does that mean and what are those horizontal red lines? I’ve rebooted, etc. but they wont go away and I cant expert the sequence. Clients expect to see this first thing in am. Stress City!

    Go back to your backup of the project file… sounds like a corruption.
