Nick, thank you for your reply. I have figured out my color correction issue. As it turns out I did not have “Render on the fly” turned on under the “Special” menu. Once I turned it on, my color correction worked fine.
As for the track panel, I do have it checked in the hamburger menu. The problem is not the track panel itself but the A1, A2, V1 track buttons beside the track panel. Those are the things that have gone missing. I will post a screencap of what I’m talking about.
