Why is Export Audio of Selected Range Markers not available but greyed out?

I have marked up a lot of audio ranges from a mp4 clip that I want to export as individual .wav files. But when I click any single range marker (or a selection of them) the option Export Audio of Selected Range Markers is greyed out.

 

I am running this as a Multitrack session, was that wrong of me?

    SteveG: Genius question.

    I couldn't figure out why my icons were greyed out either.  You asked the right question.  I had just put point Markers in places.  These need to be ranges!!!!  That's the answer.

     

    There might be a faster way, but I will use this workflow to convert all my cue Markers to ranges:

    1. Right-click on cue Marker handle in timeline.  Choose Convert to Range.
    2. In the Markers panel, copy the starting time of the next cue to the ending time of the previous clip.

     

    Voila!  Export Markers to Separate Files is activated.

    I have a few workarounds for some of the things mentioned here.

    You can also just change the Duration of a regular Marker in the Markers-view and it becomes a Range marker.

    And this is how I do the export from my Multitrack using Range markers:
    * double-click the Range in Markers-view and it becomes selected
    * Go to File -> Export -> Multitrack mixdown -> Time Selection...

     

    I also created a Keyboard shortcut for this to make the procedure faster!

      It works fine here, in both Waveform and multitrack. What is the duration of the clips you want to export? These are definitely cue ranges, not just individual cues?

      Yeah, I very meticulously marked them up as ranges.

      As you can see on the screenshot. I am working on an MPEG file that I imported via Premiere Pro. Does that have anything to do with it?

      I contacted support, and they showed me that I had to downmix to a .WAV session for the markers to work.
