What in the world did I do now? No picture.

well……daaaaa…I found out why. I hit the mute all video tracts button.

Thank you for your post! Don’t have the time to laugh at myself right now ..opened a project earlier that had many tracks grayed out … nothing.. so went back to an earlier save. Just figured it was the way things were going. Must’ve done the same as you, now just need to find where the mute all button is so I know how to fix what I didn’t know I did.

Thanks,
Margie

Each track has mute and solo buttons that can cause this “problem”. Also, under OPTIONS, you will find the “Mute All Video” and “Mute All Audio” options.

Thanks Edward,

I printed off the keyboard shortcuts yesterday to take to work to see where the mute all was. Didn’t know if a fat wayward finger accidentally hit a wrong key!

My problem was created because some time in the past I added a “mute all video tracts” icon to the tool bar. Then yesterday I somehow clicked it by mistake and didn’t know it. 🙂

Thanks Charlie,

I’m so perpetually green at all of this I better never add that convenience in :):)!
