I am trying to edit a timeline in Premiere, but the cursor changes to a Left/Right arrow with a red line across it. I've never seen this cursor before in CS4 and it is preventing me from moving clips in the timeline.

I tried to take a screen grab to show you all, but the cursor is always hidden in the final grab.

I resorted to drawing the curson in MS Paint.

I feel like such a dumbass.

I have searched high and low on Google.

Please help

Correct answer shooternz

Try pressing key "V" when in the timeline.

You may have selected the time stretch cursor. "X"

WOW Mr Shooternz you saved me. I've spend 5 hours trying to figure out what happened. I didn't think it could be solved.

Now I'm trying to find out what a red line that appeared at the bottom of one my clip means. I know it's some kinda warning but so far no answers. PremierePro has lots of weird bells and whistles "underground information".
