Editing in the timeline = FRUSTRATING!

As I've said many times before, I love Express! But, there are a few things that really frustrate me BIG TIME. One of these is editing in the timeline. Clicking a a text layer causes the timeline to reset to the start and jumps, redrawing the timeline and losing where you just clicked. Also, in All Layers view, having the layers only appear for the selected scene or video clip is just so frustrating. I want to see ALL layers - don't hide others that you don't think I want to see. I get that you want to make this simple and uncluttered but the current method just does not work, is counter-intuitive (particularly for anyone with any experience editing) and confusing. Clicking the video layer moves the CTI - why? The who approach to editing really needs a massive overhaul - it's doing my head in 😉

Hi,

I believe this is browser related - Firefox 146.0 (64 bit)

On Wiondows 11

I switched to Edge and those particular problems went away.
