Question

SUDDENLY something simple is different

I used to just drag imported clips to timeline to create sequences.  Now nothing.

How do i make a film if i cannot fill the timeline?  Some missed setting?

Also when i use the PPro dialogue to create a sequence or show, it goes the folder containing many folders of films i want to make, but it NEVER can go to the folder of the film clips to create a project?   It just shows a symbol of some image.

Try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.

@Steve Zeeeee,

How do i make a film if i cannot fill the timeline? Some missed setting?''

 

Working for me. What version are you running?

 

Drag to the new icon. Or right-click, New sequence from clip.

See this post:

But, as I said in the next post, using Right-click Project Panel -> Import doesn't have the issue.

"Working for me. What version are you running?"
PPro 25.6.3 -2
Mac 26.1
What is the "new" icon ?  None of these work.
"New sequence from clip."  It creates a new sequence
But it does not go into the timeline.

part 2:

So for YEARS they have it not work at all?

OK DUMB error: all this time, i'm dragging to the blank space

for my timeline.  The program opens with the timeline off screen.
insensible & unusable.
Thanks for helping.
