Pointer no longer works on soundbites

[emjayinla]

All of a sudden when I'm in the sequence editor I can no longer select a soundbite in a track, move the soundbite or grab the fade handles nor does it show the length adjustment icon. I have the arrow selected in the tool window but it acts like the i-beam.

Any ideas on how to remedy this?

Thanks

OK - in order to get it work I now have to hold down the ctrl+option key ... I don't see a setting in the preferences to change this?

Are the tracks locked?

MidiLC,

No the tracks aren't locked.

Holding down ctrl+opt gives me the lasso icon and arrow functionality. Strange.

Ok - resolved

Somehow I must have changed the cursor selection mode from All Selections to Time Range Selections only.

I'm going to have to assume pilot error, once again.

Error, maybe, but what a trial for learning Time Range vs. Event Selections! If you learn to do that at will, you'll be happier. (better than Prozac!)

Also, in the Tracks Overview Window, you can do either selection without a key command. At the top of each cell, the cursor changes to a cross-hair for selecting ranges. Elsewhere, it's a pointer for selecting events. Depending on how you click an event there, you can get a cell selection or a region selection, or of course a range selection.

It's all in the wrist!

Selection is the key to working in DP, so learning all the tricks for selecting and for manipulating selections to get what you want will save you time and frustration.
