Hello. Working on my first project on Premiere Elements 2020. Using Quick Mode since I'm new to this. I have sequenced my photos and videos. While in the process of choosing and applying transitions and text to key frames the bar above the preview bar turned a pale yellow and now has a message saying "edit in expert edit" and I can no longer add text to desired frames. (The T box that normally appears above the frame has been replaced by the yellow bar I mentioned). Not confident about switching to expert mode at this point. Any ideas how to continue in Quick Mode?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ed

Sorry, I was completely thrown off by the "Home > Premiere Elements" link at the top of the page, so I thought I was in the right place. Got a link to where you've moved my inquiry?

I'm not sure what you mean when you say you added "text to key frames" but you may well have activated a feature that can only work in Expert View.

Can you post a screen capture of this yellow bar on your timeline so we can see what's up?

Meantime, don't be afraid of Expert View. The program in either view is pretty user friendly. Quick View just offers fewer options in order to streamline your editing. Have a look at my 8 part Basic Training tutorial series. It should ease some of your fears about moving to Expert View.
