  • Transition Manipulation Smart tool not working

    Posted by Scott Davis on July 6, 2012 at 2:40 pm

    I must have changed something and can’t figure out what I did but my transition manipulation tool is not working anymore. I don’t get the little hand when hovering over a transition or the duration adjustment arrows. Any thought on what I turned off?

    Is it highlighted blue? The transition manipulation tool can be turned off individually by clicking it, or the entire Smart Tool can be turned off by clicking the border around it.

    I have all the Smart Tools selected. It was working fine yesterday. Then I started messing with my sequence settings and now it doesn’t work. I’ve tried getting back to where I was but I’m not getting there.

    Have you tried trashing your site settings and MC states?

    MC State yes. Site settings no. Where do I find the site settings?

    Applications > Media Composer > Settings

    Delete “Site Settings.avs” and “Site_Attributes”

    Richard, I trashed MC state and site settings. No good. I tried someone else’s settings and it works fine. So it is something I changed. I just can’t think of what it would be.
