Problem with sequence editor track selection - RESOLVED

[Helen]

I am having a problem with the track selector in the sequence editor. It only shows folders, which I cannot open or close. The folders look like they are open, but no tracks are showing, and I have a few dozen tracks in this sequence. No audio and no MIDI tracks will show at all in the sequence editor. The tracks and track selector work just fine in the tracks window in the consolidated window.

Here is a link to a video of the problem: https://vimeo.com/960221412/2a2a524fd6?share=copy

I have tried creating new tracks and track folders to see if this helps. I have moved tracks out of folders to see if they display. (They don't.) I have quit and reopened DP. I do not know what else to do.

I know I hit some key or key combo by accident, and caused this. I have searched the forum here, but unfortunately my search terms (track selector problem; sequence editor track display) are too general to yield helpful results. The DP manual offers little help, I've looked in the sequence editor section and under track selector.

If someone recognizes this problem (possibly it's a feature, not a bug, but gah, I can't get out of it) please point me towards a solution. I am trying to finish a mix on a scene for a director who's been working on this microbudget film for years.

Much gratitude to all here who help so many,

Does this issue arise with other project files or is it exclusive to the subject project?

You could try removing the SE from Consolidated Windows...

I'd reach out to MOTU with a tech link right away. Share your video there.

Maybe someone here will be able to help, but that is a weird one, for sure.

PS: DP 11.32 is now available. It fixed some display issues for me, but nothing like what you are experiencing.

Maybe the tracks in the track selector of the sequence editor are hidden?

Correction: maybe the tracks in the track selector of the sequence editor are set to hidden? The little triangle in the upper right corner of the track selector...

Thanks, HC, I will be in touch with MOTU tech support. I did find a work around, by creating a new sequence (duplicate track layout) and copy/pasting the tracks into it. But I lost all my markers. (On my DP wish list for some time, to be able to copy markers from one sequence to another.)

The problem is exclusive to this sequence. My duplicate sequence is part of the same project, and it works fine. I will try the update later today. Thank you for letting me know about it.

Tried that several times, didn't work. Thank you for suggesting it, though.

SOLUTION:

I apparently had two spaces in the search bar for the track selector. It did fine with one space, but two, well, I had no tracks with two successive spaces in the track name. Wow, what a headache for that little thing.

Thank you everyone!
