    Howdy,

    Okay, so I’m learning how to make splits,trim, snapping etc. when a wavy line appears over the top of one of my events. It’s on the top boundary of the event. This event is at the extreme right of all my event if that makes any difference. All the other events are fine. What is this? I searched help with no answer.

    Thanks, in advance Gary.

    It represents the rate of the video. It means, when you’ve went to shorten or expand an event, you’ve accidentally (or intentionally) been holding ‘CTRL’ which changes the function of the action. Instead of revealing more or less of the event, it actually expands what is there to produce slower or faster motion.

    To correct this, Right Click and go to Properties.
    Make sure your Playback Rate is set to 1.000. If it isn’t, make it ‘1’. If it is at 1 already you have nothing to worry about, just ignore the line.

    Setting playback rate to 1 will give you the real-time, true rate of what the video is supposed to be. If you set this to 0.5 you would get half speed slow motion and the wavy line you’re seeing would have half the frequency.

    Hope this helps :)!
