ANSWER: to resize a clip make sure you are double clicking in the PROGRAM: window. if you are unsure where it is, just go to the pulldown menu WINDOW > PROGRAM MONITOR and you’ll be in business.
EXTRA INFO:
very different things happen when you double click other things. for example…
–if you double-click the clip in the TIMELINE, it opens the source window in the upper left of your screen (or makes it active if it’s already open).
–if you double click in the REFERENCE: monitor window, NOTHING HAPPENS. this happened to me–oh great a worthless window–what is a stupid reference monitor window? you find it by going to the pull-down menu WINDOW > REFERENCE MONITOR. just close that window if you are trying to resize your clip. the reference monitor is a mirrow window to the PROGRAM MONITOR, that you can link or unlink to each other for color comparisons, or for evaluating the clip with scopes. find out more about the reference monitor window by Colin from Adobe… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFM0bOK1sRc
