Putting finishing touches on a video to be aired Monday. Want to fade in and out some clips, add transitions. Suddenly some of the clips no longer have such options as modify, trim, etc., available, and others do.

Have no idea what happened.

Any suggestions?????

Make sure the clip shows separate video audio.
if so, click with the right and select Unlink video and audio.

"This bug has been fixed in recent updates", still happens sometimes even in PD13, I am using now.

Thank you. The solution you offered seems to work. BUT I have the latest update.

Should have included the fact that I use PD12.

I cannot find anything newer than 3403.

Hmm. I have the latest version of PD13 (13.0.2408.0) and I still have this problem. I linked a couple of audio & video files (after editing them in AudioDirector), and now I have no ability to modify, trim, fix/enhance etc. ANY clip that is already present in the timeline unless I first unlink it. The program behaves normally when new clips are added to the timeline. Frustrating.
